A Delhi court on Wednesday granted the CBI time till August 8 to obtain sanction to prosecute former railway minister Lalu Prasad and some officials of the public sector transport behemoth in a case related to an alleged land-for-job scam.
-
Special Judge Geetanjali Goel granted the CBI time after the central probe agency made a prayer to that effect.
The CBI had on July 3 filed a charge sheet against Lalu Prasad, who continues to be the national president of the RJD he had founded, his wife and former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi, and their son and the state's Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav in connection with the alleged scam.
It was the second charge sheet filed by the CBI in the case but first in which Tejashwi Yadav has been named as an accused. Besides the three members of the Yadav family, the federal agency also named 14 individuals and entities in the charge sheet.
The accused have been charged under Indian Penal Code sections related to criminal conspiracy, cheating and others in addition to provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
