Lalu, his wife, son in CBI net
The CBI on Friday filed a corruption case and carried out raids at the residences of RJD leader Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri and son Tejashwi Yadav (Bihar Deputy Chief Minister) for alleged irregularities in leasing two railway hotels to a private company when he was the Railways Minister.
New Delhi/Patna: The CBI on Friday filed a corruption case and carried out raids at the residences of RJD leader Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri and son Tejashwi Yadav (Bihar Deputy Chief Minister) for alleged irregularities in leasing two railway hotels to a private company when he was the Railways Minister.
Scores of sleuths from CBI carried out raids at least a dozen locations, including the residences of Lalu Prasad and his family members in Delhi, Gurugram, Patna, Ranchi and Bhubaneswar.
CBI Additional Director Rakesh Asthana said Lalu Prasad had allegedly granted illegal favours to Sujata Hotels through the IRCTC when he was the Railway Minister from 2004 to 2009.
Asthana said the private company was favoured and the tender process for the development, maintenance and operation of the hotels in Ranchi and Puri was manipulated in exchange for a three-acre land plot in Patna where a mall is being built. "When Lalu Prasad was the Railway Minister, the tender of BNR Hotels of the Railways was given to Sujata Hotels," he said.
