Land-for-Jobs-Case: ‘Will File Supplementary Chargesheet against Lalu Yadav & Family within a Month’: CBI to Delhi Court

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) informed Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court on Tuesday that it will file a supplementary charge sheet within a month in connection with an alleged land-for-job scam in the Railways against RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his family members.

The central probe agency made this statement before Special Judge Vishal Gogne, indicating that the final report will be filed by the end of February. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) shared this information while responding to an application by RJD leader Ahmed Ashfaq Karim, seeking the release of Rs 13 lakh cash seized during the investigation.

The court has kept the application pending until the filing of the supplementary charge sheet.

The matter is scheduled for a hearing on February 27, 2024.

Previously, the court had summoned Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri Devi, their son Tejashwi Yadav, and others in connection with the case. The case revolves around ‘Group D’ appointments made in the West Central Zone of the Railways during Lalu Prasad’s tenure as the railway minister from 2004 to 2009.

These appointments were allegedly made in exchange for land parcels gifted or transferred by the recruits to the RJD supremo’s family or associates. The CBI registered the case on May 18, 2022, against Lalu Prasad and 15 others, including his wife, two daughters, and unidentified public servants and private individuals.
