The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|March 19, 2025
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned former Chief Minister of Bihar Rabri Devi and her son MLA Tej Pratap Yadav at its zonal office in Patna on Tuesday in the land-for-job case — dating back to 2004-09 when RJD Supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav was the union railway minister.
Lalu Prasad Yadav has been summoned to appear before the ED investigators on Wednesday in the same case.
The ED is probing the case based on a FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the case. According to the FIR, the candidates were told to transfer land either as gifts or at cheap rates in return for jobs in the railways.
The CBI is conducting a parallel investigation against Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members.
