The Rouse Avenue Court will announce its decision today in the IRCTC scam case, which involves Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, and Tejashwi Yadav. The court will decide whether they and 11 others will face trial. This IRCTC scam case concerns alleged corruption in awarding hotel maintenance contracts during Lalu Yadav’s term as Railway Minister from 2004 to 2009.
Investigators claim contracts were exchanged for three acres of land acquired through a benami company linked to Lalu Yadav. In July 2017, the CBI raided properties in Patna, Ranchi, Delhi, and Gurugram. The agency says there is enough evidence to frame charges, but Lalu’s lawyer argues the case lacks a legal base. The court’s order could have political impact ahead of state elections, making it a key moment in Bihar’s political scene.
