In the alleged “land for job scam” case of the Central Bureau of Investigation, a Delhi court on Monday issued summonses to former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, his wife, children, and several others (CBI).
Geetanjali Goel, a special CBI judge from the Rouse Avenue Courts, made the initial observation that the evidence on file appears to support the commission of crimes against the Prevention of Corruption Act of 1988’s sections 8, 9, 11, 12, 13(2), and 13(1)(d) as well as sections 120B, 420, 467, 468, and 471 of the Indian Penal Code.
On October 10, 2022, the CBI filed a chargesheet in the case against 16 people. Then, permission was gained to charge Yadav and others.
According to the investigating agency, several Bihari citizens were hired as stand-ins for “Group-D postings” from 2004 to 2009 in various Railways zones in Bombay, Jabalpur, Kolkata, Jaipur, and Hajipur.
It has been claimed that instead of doing so, the individuals or their families transferred their land into the names of the family members of Lalu Prasad Yadav, the former union minister for railways, and a company called M/s AK Infosystems Private Limited, which was later taken over by his family members.
