Furthermore, the chargesheet details transactions involving AK Infosystem, which transferred large plots of land to Lalu Yadav’s family members, including Rabri Devi, Tejashwi, and Tej Pratap, in 2014. The court’s findings suggest that Tej Pratap’s involvement in money laundering is undeniable.
Background
It is alleged that Lalu Yadav was involved in the land-for-job scam during his tenure as Railway Minister. The scam took place between 2004 and 2009, during which individuals were appointed to Group-D positions in various railway zones. In exchange, these individuals allegedly transferred their land to Lalu Yadav’s family members and to the company AK Infosystem.
Vijay Singla, the nephew of Pawan Bansal, who was also a Railway Minister in the UPA government, is implicated in the scam. The CBI has filed an FIR against 10 people, including Vijay Singla, who is also accused of money laundering in this case.
