ED Summons Lalu Prasad in Land-for-Jobs Case, Questioning Set for March 19

Patna: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned RJD president and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad for questioning in the land-for-jobs money laundering case on March 19, official sources said on Tuesday.

Prasad, 76, has been asked to appear before the federal agency in Patna. Some of his family members have also been called for questioning under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). However, sources indicated that Prasad and his family members are unlikely to appear.

The ED had filed a chargesheet last year in the case, naming Prasad’s wife Rabri Devi and daughters Misa Bharti and Hema Yadav as accused, along with others.

The investigation is ongoing.
