Fri, 07 Jun 2024

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a conclusive chargesheet against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and 77 accused individuals in connection with the alleged land-for-jobs scam.

The chargesheet, which was listed before Special CBI Judge Vishal Gogne on July 6 for consideration, alleges that from 2004 to 2009, several people were appointed to Group "D" positions in various zones of the Indian Railways and, in lieu, these individuals transferred their land to the family members of Lalu Yadav.

According to the chargesheet, Lalu Prasad Yadav, during his tenure as Union Minister of Railways from 2004 to 2009, accepted financial advantages by way of land property transfers in the names of his family members and others.

The case has been ongoing for several years, with previous attempts to file a conclusive chargesheet having failed due to delays and procedural issues.
