Spelling more trouble for Lalu Prasad ED files fresh money laundering case
The Central Bureau of Investigation is already investigating the case.
The alleged money laundering dates back to the UPA time when Lalu Prasad was Railway Minister.
The development comes weeks after the CBI had registered an FIR on July seven against Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri Devi, their son Tejashwi Yadav and five others, which include a former IRCTC managing director, in a case of alleged corruption linked to a grant of tenders for the maintenance of BNR hotels to Sujata Hotels.
According to reports, the investigative agency alleged in the FIR that Lalu Prasad Yadav and family received a plot of land in Patna in return for awarding tenders to the company run by two businessmen Vijay Kochhar and Vinay Kochhar. Lalu Prasad and son Tejashwi Yadav have however denied the charges.
JDU chief Kumar, who was getting closer to the BJP over the past few months on Wednesday broke the Grand Alliance with RJD citing corruption cases against its leaders including Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwai Yadav. He stepped down as the chief minister. However, with the support of the old ally BJP, Kumar again was sworn in as the chief minister
