 "'Lalu Yadav, Family Acted As Criminal Syndicate': Delhi Court Frames Charges In Land-For-Job Scam Case")
A Delhi court on Friday said that RJD chief and former railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members “acted as a criminal syndicate" while framing criminal charges against them in the alleged railways land-for-jobs scam, accepting the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) case of an overarching conspiracy behind the appointments.
Special Judge Vishal Gogne, while passing the order on framing of charges, observed that on the “touchstone of suspicion," there existed an overarching conspiracy on the part of Lalu Yadav and his family members.
The court held that the material placed on record by the probe agency was sufficient at this stage to proceed against the accused for their alleged roles in the scam.
