New Delhi: After Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav skipped the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summon on Froday, the financial probe agency on Saturday issued a fresh summon to him for questioning on January 5 in connection with the alleged land-for-job scam. The ED has also issued a summon to RJD supremo and former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, asking him to appear it on December 27.
The fresh summons to the RJD leaders came over a month after the ED arrested Amit Katyal in connection with the case on November 11. A source said that during the questioning on Katyal, the ED got several fresh leads against the RJD leaders.
The ED had registered a case of money laundering on the basis of an FIR registered by the CBI related to the alleged land-for-job scam accusing Lalu Prasad of indulging in corruption for the appointment of Group D substitutes in the Indian Railways during 2004-2009 during which ineligible candidates were told to transfer land as bribe in return for jobs in the Railways.
The CBI has also filed a charge sheet naming AK Infosystems Pvt. Ltd. as one of the accused.
