What’s inside:
The article discusses the ongoing legal troubles faced by Lalu Yadav and the latest developments in the land-for-job scam case involving several accused individuals.
Lalu Yadav is facing serious issues with the law as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is actively pursuing the land-for-job scam. Recently, the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi took note of the case and has called for three more accused to appear in court on October 10.
The three accused named by the court are Mustakim Ansari, Lalababu Chaudhary, and Rajendra Chaudhary. They will be questioned about their involvement in the scam, where jobs were allegedly promised in exchange for land. Lalu Yadav had tried to stop these actions legally, but his petition was rejected.
In a related development, the ED has uncovered five new properties linked to Lalu’s family in Patna, believed to be connected to the ongoing scam. This new evidence has led to a supplementary charge sheet being filed, which may increase the legal challenges for several political figures and former officials.
The ED had previously filed charges against multiple individuals, including Lalu’s family members, claiming that the scam involved around ₹600 crore in money laundering. So far, they have gathered evidence for ₹250 crore in money laundering and illegal assets worth ₹350 crore.
Earlier this year, both Tejashwi Yadav and Misa Bharti were questioned by the CBI regarding their roles in the scam. The next hearing for this case is set for October 10, where the newly summoned accused will appear in court.
