Lalu Yadav's CBI Questioning Day After Wife Rabri's In Land-For-Jobs Case
A day after the Central Bureau of Investigation questioned former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi at her home in Patna in connection with an alleged land-for-jobs scam, the probe agency today reached her daughter Misa Bharti's Pandara Roadhouse to question former union railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav in the same case. The CBI case, which names the Yadav couple and their daughters Misa and Hema, among others, is based on accusations that Mr. Yadav and his family members bought land at cheap rates in exchange for jobs during his tenure as Union Railway Minister from 2004 to 2009. Besides the veteran politician, his wife, and his daughters, the FIR, registered in May 2022, names 12 people who allegedly got jobs in exchange for land. In July last year, Mr. Yadav's aide and former Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Bhola Yadav was arrested by the CBI in the case.
