NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate has issued summonses to Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav and his father, RJD chief Lalu Prasad, in connection with the money laundering probe related to the railways land-for-jobs case, according to official sources on Wednesday.
Tejashwi has been directed to appear for questioning on December 22, while Lalu is scheduled to record his statement on December 27 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The investigation revolves around an alleged scam that occurred during Lalu’s tenure as the railway minister in the UPA-1 government. The accusations suggest that between 2004 and 2009, individuals were purportedly appointed to Group “D” positions across various Indian Railways zones. In exchange, these appointees allegedly transferred their land holdings to the family members of the then railway minister Lalu and a connected entity, A K Infosystems Private Limited.
