NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate has attached some assets as part of its money laundering investigation against RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, his family and others in an alleged land-for-railway jobs scam, official sources said on Monday.
The CBI recently filed a chargesheet against Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri Devi, Bihar deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav and 14 others in the “land-for-jobs scam” in a Delhi court.
The agency has issued a provisional order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to attach the properties, they said.
It is alleged that during Lalu Prasad’s tenure as railway minister from 2004-2009, appointments were made to Group D positions in various zones of the Indian Railways in violation of norms and procedures of recruitment. No advertisement or public notice was issued for appointment.
