Rabri Devi Appears Before ED in Land-for-Jobs Scam

New Delhi: Former Bihar CM Rabri Devi, the wife of RJD chief and former railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Delhi for questioning in money laundering case linked to land-for-jobs scam. She was earlier questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in this connection.

The land-for-jobs case relates to alleged appointments made in the railways in return for land parcels gifted or sold to Yadav’s family at cheap rate when he was the minister of railways between 2004 and 2009.

In March, the CBI questioned RJD chief and former railway minister Lalu Prasad in connection with the land for jobs case.

The CBI, in October 2022, filed a chargesheet in the case for offences of criminal conspiracy and corruption against 16 accused people, including Lalu Prasad Yadav and his wife Rabri Devi.

 

On March 15, RJD chief and his wife Rabri Devi and daughter Misa Bharti were granted bail by a Delhi court in connection with the case.
