On Monday, December 8, the CBI told the Delhi court that it needed more time to verify the records of many accused linked to the alleged scam. Special CBI Judge Vishal Gogane is examining whether enough evidence exists to frame charges.

The CBI has filed a chargesheet against Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav, and others. It claims that Group-D railway jobs were given in exchange for land between 2004 and 2009. The agency also alleges that the land transfers involved benami properties and violated norms.

The accused have denied the charges and say the case is politically motivated.

The case involves former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, and their son Tejashwi Yadav. Earlier, Rabri Devi had asked the court to transfer the case, but it continues in the same court.

The last hearing took place on November 10. Special CBI Judge Vishal Gogne postponed the verdict to December 4. Now, the court will decide if there is enough evidence to proceed. This ruling may have a major impact on the family’s future.

According to the CBI, several Group D jobs in the Western Central Railway were given during Lalu Prasad Yadav’s tenure between 2004 and 2009. In return, land was allegedly taken in the names of family members and associates. The agency also claimed that the deals involved benami properties.

The accused have denied all charges. They say the case is politically motivated and meant to target their family.

RJD MLA Bhai Virendra said the family purchased the land many years back and is now building a house. He argued that no one has taken land from anyone and there is no wrongdoing. When asked about Tejashwi Yadav’s role, Virendra reacted sharply and criticised the question.

BJP spokesperson Neeraj Kumar released a video of the house under construction and accused Lalu Yadav of gathering wealth through unfair means. He warned that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) may seize the land again if it is linked to the “land-for-jobs” case.

ED had earlier seized several plots related to the Lalu family in July 2023. It is still unclear whether the current construction site was part of those properties.

Meanwhile, Rabri Devi has been asked to vacate her old government bungalow. The family refuses to move to the new bungalow allotted by the state, adding more tension to the ongoing dispute.
