Land for jobs case: Delhi court grants bail to RJD chief Lalu Prasad, sons Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav

NEW DELHI: A Rouse Avenue court in Delhi granted bail to RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and his sons, party leaders Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav, in the alleged land-for-jobs money laundering case on Monday.

Special judge Vishal Gogne granted bail to the accused on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh each, noting that they were not arrested during the investigation.
The accused had appeared in court in response to earlier-issued summons.
The judge had issued the summons after reviewing a supplementary charge sheet filed against them.
The final report was submitted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on August 6, following an FIR registered by the CBI.
The case relates to Group-D railway appointments in the West Central Zone, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, made during Lalu Prasad Yadav's tenure as railway minister from 2004 to 2009.
In exchange for these appointments, recruits allegedly transferred land to Yadav's family or associates, according to the ED.
