Special Judge Vishal Gogne said the material on record “prima facie” showed that Lalu Yadav treated the railway ministry as his “personal fiefdom” and ran a criminal enterprise.

The court said public jobs were allegedly used as a bargaining tool to acquire land for the Yadav family, with the help of railway officials and close aides.
