New Delhi: A Delhi court has framed charges against Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family in the Land for Job case. The court has accused Lalu’s family of corruption and criminal conspiracy. Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, Tejaswi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav have been included in the case. Criminal charges have been registered under the Corruption Act as well as IPC sections. These orders were issued by Special Judge Vishal Gogne of the Rouge Avenue Court.
While a corruption case has been registered against Lalu Yadav, a criminal case has been registered against his family members under the charges of cheating and criminal conspiracy. During Lalu Yadav’s tenure as the Railway Minister, there are allegations that he took lands and provided them to Group D employees. A case has been registered that railway jobs were provided to those who sold the land at a low price. There are allegations that these crimes were committed between 2004 and 2009.
No recruitment process was followed during the recruitment process. There are allegations that employees were given under quid pro quo. However, the Yadav family has denied the allegations. The Yadav family has said that the allegations against them are being made due to a political conspiracy. The ED is investigating the money laundering aspect linked to this case. Properties worth Rs 600 crore have already been seized and attached.
Judge Gogne said that Lalu Yadav’s family worked like a criminal company. Lala’s family was accused of converting the job creation process into a method of accumulating assets. The court said that Lalu used the railway department as a personal asset. The court said that there are 98 accused in this case, out of which 46 are being charged, while 52 others are being discharged from the case.
