Delhi Court Charges against Lalu Prasad Yadav & 45 others in Rail Job Land Swap Case

The Delhi court framed charges against RJD President Lalu Prasad Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, and his children Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav, Misa Bharti, along with 46 others, in the alleged Railways land-for-jobs scam.

The matter arose when the CBI alleged that during his tenure as Union Railway Minister, Group D jobs were given to candidates in return for land parcels transferred to his family at nominal prices, bypassing any public recruitment process, forming a quid pro quo conspiracy.

Lalu faces charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act and IPC provisions, while family members are charged with criminal conspiracy and cheating.

The Court allowed charges against 46, discharged 52, refused the discharge plea, and dismissed the case against rehearing.
