The hearing came after the Rouse Avenue Court delayed its earlier order on framing charges against Lalu Prasad Yadav, his family members, and other accused. The CBI informed the judge that 103 people are accused, and four have died. Many documents are still pending, so the agency asked for more time.

During the December 8 hearing, the CBI requested time to verify the status of several accused. The judge had earlier asked the agency to file a detailed report. The CBI also filed charge sheets against Lalu Prasad, Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav, and others.

According to the prosecution, Group D railway jobs in the West Central Zone were given in exchange for land transferred to Lalu Prasad’s family during 2004–2009. They claim the deals involved benami properties and broke several rules.

The accused denied these charges and said the case is politically motivated.

The next hearing is scheduled for December 10. Earlier, on December 4, the Rouse Avenue Court had also delayed the decision. Special CBI Judge Vishal Gogane said the status of each accused must be verified before moving forward.

Between 2004 and 2009, when Lalu Yadav was Railway Minister, Group-D jobs were allegedly given in exchange for land transferred to his family or associates. The CBI claims these appointments violated rules. Four of the accused have died during the long legal process.

Sources say a Jharkhand-based company received a construction contract for a project from Sugauli in Motihari to Araria. Bribes were planned for several officials involved in the work.

The arrested Deputy Chief Engineer Alok Kumar, clerk Alok Kumar Das, peon Manik Das, and two contractor staff members are now under investigation. More raids are being carried out at different locations linked to the case. Officials say the recovered money was meant to be distributed among multiple officers. The CBI has registered a detailed case and further action is underway.

The IRCTC scam dates back to 2004–2009, when Lalu Prasad Yadav was Railway Minister. It is alleged that the maintenance contract for two IRCTC hotels was awarded to Sujata Hotels in exchange for three acres of prime land at a very low price. The CBI has named Lalu, Rabri, Tejashwi, and others as accused in the case.

The FIR was filed in 2017, and a charge sheet was submitted in 2018. All the accused were granted bail. The case has moved slowly, but the October 13 hearing could mark a turning point. With elections approaching, the verdict in the IRCTC scam may have a major political impact in Bihar.
