NEW DELHI: Rajendra Vadra, father of Robert Vadra, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's husband, was found dead at a guest house in Yusuf Sarai area on Friday. A source requesting anonymity claimed that it was suspected to be a case of suicide as Vadra was found with an ironing cord around his neck. Police officials, off the record, initially said the death was caused by a heart attack, but later clammed up. No official statement was forthcoming from either the family or the police.
(Inconsistent script. Someone fire the screenplay writer.)
Vadra's body was found by a room attendant at around 9.30 am in City Inn, where he had been staying for the last fortnight. His body was taken to Safdarjung Hospital and a post mortem conducted. <b>Sources within the hospital claimed that there were injury marks around the neck, but declined to be quoted.</b> Neither the police, nor hospital authorities divulged any details about the cause of death.
<b>Vadra, who was in his 60s, was reportedly alone at the time of his death. His body was cremated</b> at the Lodhi Road Crematorium on Friday afternoon in the presence of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka and his son Robert, along with other family and friends. Rahul left early for campaigning in Bihar while the others stayed on with the family. The family of the deceased refused to speak to the media about the incident. <b>The police declined to comment on whether an inquest would be conducted into the allegations of suicide.</b>
(Cremated, so Rajendra Vadra was still Hindu.)
Vadra was reportedly undergoing treatment for cirrhosis of the liver and severe diabetes at Max Hospital. He was staying at the guest house even though he owned a house in New Friend's Colony.
<b>About eight years ago, Robert Vadra had issued a public notice stating that his father, Rajender, and brother, Richard, were "duping" people by promising jobs at the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee and other favours. Rajendra later threatened to file a defamation suit against his son. In an interview, he had also expressed displeasure at Robert's marriage with Priyanka.</b>
Rajendra was a resident of Civil Lines area of Moradabad and ran a brass and wood handicrafts business. <b>Robert's brother, Richard Vadra was also found dead in mysterious circumstances in September 2003 at his Vasant Vihar residence, and his sister Michelle died in a car accident in 2001.
While the Vadra family claimed to be a supporter of the Congress Party, Rajendra's older brother Om Prakash had donated his property to a trust in Moradabad, some members of which are affiliated with RSS. A school still stands on that land. The family is originally from Sialkot, Pakistan, and Rajendra's father moved to India at the time of partition.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->In the photos at the TOI link, Priyanka looks the part of the sad daughter-in-law though her husband Robert Vadra couldn't get along with his dad.
