Charges framed against Lalu for running Railways as ‘personal fiefdom’

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.
