The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday conducted searches at the houses of several Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders said to be close to the family of party chief Lalu Prasad, in the land-for-Railway job scam case.
The action came ahead of the grand alliance government proving its majority in the Assembly.
The CBI raided the residences of RJD leaders — former MLC Subodh Rai, Rajya Sabha member Ashfaque Karim, MLC Sunil Singh and Faiyaz Ahmad — in the morning. It was also said that the CBI raided an under-construction mall in Gurugram allegedly owned by RJD leader and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav. However, Mr. Yadav strongly denied that it was owned by him.
