ED raids Tejashwi Yadav's home in land-for-jobs scam

Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family are facing ongoing difficulties in connection with the "Land for Job" scam, with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducting raids at 15 locations for alleged money laundering.

The raids include properties owned by RJD leader Abu Dojana and the residence of Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav in Delhi, who is also implicated in the case. Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi have previously been questioned by the CBI team.

The alleged scam involves the exchange of land for railway jobs, with Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family accused of accepting land as gifts or purchases in return for job placements during Yadav's tenure as Railway Minister from 2004 to 2009. The CBI has already investigated the case twice, but it has resurfaced as part of a political conspiracy, according to Yadav's family.

The CBI has filed a charge sheet against Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, and 14 others under criminal conspiracy and the Prevention of Corruption Act, summoning all accused on March 15.

The ED's case stems from a CBI complaint registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, with raids targeting RJD-affiliated leaders in cities like Patna and Phulwarisharif.
