NEW DELHI, Jan 9: The Enforcement Directorate<\/a> on Tuesday filed its first charge sheet in the railways land-for-jobs linked money laundering case<\/a>, naming former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi and her MP daughter Misa Bharti among others, official sources said.
\nRJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav\u2019s another daughter Hema Yadav (40), an alleged \u201cclose associate\u201d of the Yadav family Amit Katyal (49), railway employee and alleged beneficiary Hridayanand Chaudhary, two firms A K Infosystems Pvt. Ltd. and A B Exports Pvt. Ltd., through their common director Shariqul Bari, have also been named in the charge sheet.
\nThe complaint arraying a total of seven accused has been filed before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Delhi<\/a> and the court has listed the matter to be heard on January 16, the sources said.
\nKatyal was arrested in this case by the ED in November last year while Lalu Prasad Yadav was summoned by the agency but is yet to depose. However, his son and Bihar deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav has deposed once before the agency. He has been asked to appear again before it.
\nRabri Devi (68), RJD Rajya Sabha MP Misa Bharti (47), and two other daughters of Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi\u2013 Chanda Yadav and Ragini Yadav\u2013 have been questioned in this case by the ED.
\nThe alleged scam pertains to the period when Prasad was the railway minister<\/a> in the UPA-1 government.
\nIt is alleged that from 2004 to 2009, several people were appointed to Group \u201cD\u201d positions in various zones of the Indian Railways and in lieu, these people transferred their land to the family members of the then railway minister Prasad and a linked company named A K Infosystems Private Limited.
\nA K Infosystems Private Limited is allegedly a \u201cbeneficiary company\u201d in the case and its registered address in south Delhi\u2019s New Friends Colony was being used by Tejashwi Yadav, the ED had said earlier.
\nKatyal has been a director of this company, as per the agency.
\nA B Exports Pvt Ltd is a \u201cshell\u201d or fake company owned by Tejashwi Yadav and Chanda Yadav and its registered address is also the New Friends Colony located bungalow.
\nThe ED alleged Rabri Devi and Hema Yadav sold four land parcels \u201cillegally\u201d acquired from appointees in the Railways to Meridian Construction India Ltd., a company related to Syed Abu Dojana, a former RJD MLA, and the \u201cproceeds of crime\u201d so obtained by Rabri Devi and Hema Yadav were further transferred through a maze of transactions to A B Exports Pvt Ltd and Bhagirathi Tubes respectively.
\n\u201cRabri Devi and Hema Yadav sold these land parcels for Rs 3.5 crore against the acquisition cost of Rs 7.5 lakh, thus deriving huge gains,\u201d the ED earlier claimed.
\nThe money laundering case, filed under the criminal sections of the PMLA, stems from a complaint lodged by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The CBI has filed a charge sheet in this case earlier.
\nLalu Prasad, Rabri Devi and Tejashwi Yadav have been granted bail by a trial court in October in the CBI case.
\nAccording to the CBI, no advertisement or public notice was issued for appointment, but some residents of Patna were appointed as substitutes in different zonal railways in Mumbai, Jabalpur, Kolkata, Jaipur and Hazipur.
\nAs a quid pro quo, the candidates, directly or through their immediate family members, allegedly sold land to Prasad\u2019s family members at highly discounted rates, up to one-fourth to one-fifth of the prevailing market rates, the CBI alleged.
\nAssets worth more than Rs 6 crore belonging to Rabri Devi, Misa Bharti and linked companies were attached by the ED last year as part of this investigation.
\nThe agency had raided the premises of Chanda Yadav, Ragini Yadav, Hema Yadav, and Abu Dojana in Patna, Phulwari Sharif, Delhi-NCR, Ranchi and Mumbai in March 2023. (Agencies)<\/p>\n
