In a significant development in the land-for-jobs scam case, the CBI told a Delhi court that RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav acted as the “kingpin” of the conspiracy during his tenure as Railway Minister, orchestrating appointments in exchange for land parcels. The agency asserted that his wife, Rabri Devi, and sons Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav were among the key “beneficiaries” of the scheme. The CBI made these remarks while opposing the discharge applications filed by the accused in the case. The court has taken note of the submissions and scheduled the matter for further hearing.
