Rabri Devi and Tejashwi Yadav gets bail IRCTC scam

A Delhi court today granted bail to RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s wife Rabri Devi and son Tejashwi Yadav and others in an Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) scam case lodged by the CBI. Special Judge Arun Bhardwaj also granted interim bail till November 19 to Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav and others in a money laundering case filed by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in relation to the alleged scam.

The court also directed Lalu Yadav to be produced through video conference on November 19 in the cases filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate. The court granted bail to Rabri Devi and Tejashwi Yadav in the CBI case on a personal bond of Rs. 1 lakh and a surety of a like amount.

However, the regular bail was not granted to the accused in the ED case after the agency sought time to file a reply to the bail applications. The court had on August 31 granted interim bail to the accused, except Lalu Yadav in the case filed by the CBI after the agency had sought time to file a reply today.
