Lalu Prasad Yadav Faces ED Questioning in Land-for-Jobs Money Laundering Probe

The investigation focuses on alleged railway job appointments exchanged for undervalued land parcels during Yadav's tenure as Union Railway Minister from 2004 to 2009.

Lalu Prasad Yadav is being questioned by the ED in Patna today after fresh evidence emerged in the land-for-jobs money laundering case.
Rabri Devi and Tej Pratap Yadav were questioned on March 18, with sessions lasting several hours, marking Tej Pratap's first interrogation in this case.
The ED alleges that land parcels were transferred to Yadav's family at undervalued rates in exchange for railway jobs, violating recruitment norms.
Investigative focus includes alleged misuse of shell companies, such as AK Infosystems and AB Exports Pvt Ltd, to acquire and conceal assets.
The RJD claims the timing of the investigations is politically motivated, coinciding with upcoming Bihar elections.
