The Rouse Avenue court on Saturday deferred order on summons to former Railways Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tejaswi Yadav, and other accused persons in the land for job money laundering case.

Special judge Vishal Gogne has listed the matter for order on summons to the accused persons on September 13.

Accused Kisun Deo Rai, Lal Babu Rai and Lallan Chaudhary have expired.

On August 6, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a supplementary charge sheet against Lalu, Tejaswi and nine others.

This supplementary charge sheet has name of Lallan Chaudhary, Hazari Rai, Dharmender Kumar, Akhileshwar Singh, Ravinder Kumar, Late Lal Babu Rai, Sonmatia Devi, Late Kishun Dev Rai and Sanjay Rai. It also has 96 relied-upon documents.

In this case, Bihar's former CM Rabri Devi, her daughters Misa Bharti and Hema Yadav, and Amit Katyal and Hridyanand Chaudhary have been charge-sheeted.

Two firms, namely AK Infosystem and AB Export, have also been accused in this case. ED had submitted that in 2006-07, AK Infosystem was formed by Amit Katyal, and its business was IT data analysis. No real business was done. Instead, several land parcels were bought by the company. One land parcel pertains to the main predicate offence, which is land for a job.

This company was transferred in the name of Rabri Devi and Tejaswi Yadav in 2014 for the consideration of one lakh rupees, ED submitted. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on January 9, 2024, filed a Prosecution Complaint (Charge sheet) in Land for job scam money laundering case.

ED submitted that AB Export was supposed to be in the business of export. It was incorporated in 1996. In 2007, Rs 5 crore came through five companies and a property in the New Friends colony was purchased. In this case, seven land parcels are involved. Out of these, Rabri, Hema Yadav, and Misa Bharti got land parcels. Later on, they sold out their land parcels.

ED's Special Public Prosecutor had apprised the court that the Yadav family members are beneficiaries of the proceeds of crime. Katyal is said to be a close aide of former railways minister Lalu Prasad Yadav. The Delhi High Court had refused to quash Enforcement Directorate (ED) proceedings against Amit Katyal, who is accused of engaging in transactions with the family members of former railways minister Lalu Prasad Yadav.
