New Delhi, Oct 5 (IBNS): Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief and former Bihar chief minister, Lalu Prasad, appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday in an alleged involvement in the railway hotel scam, media reports said.

The CBI  had registered an FIR on July 7 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 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.

The RJD had also attacked the BJP-led central government for playing political vendetta against Lalu Prasad as the latter raised his voice against the saffron party.
