Delhi Court Frames Charges Against RJD President Lalu Prasad

In a fresh setback to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) President Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members, a Delhi court today framed charges against the accused in the alleged Railways land-for-jobs corruption case being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation.

The Rouse Avenue Courts passed the order holding that a prima facie case of corruption, cheating and criminal conspiracy is made out against Lalu Prasad Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, sons Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav, daughters Misa Bharti and Hema Yadav, and several other accused.

The court, paving the way for the trial, framed charges against Lalu Prasad Yadav under sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988, along with other offences.

Pronouncing the order, the Special Judge observed that Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members were operating as a criminal enterprise and part of a broader conspiracy, wherein public employment in the Indian Railways was allegedly exploited as a bargaining chip to obtain immovable properties.(UPDATED ON 9TH JANUARY 2026)
