As CBI interrogated RJD chief Lalu Prasad in the land-for-job scam case on Tuesday, his daughter said that her father was being “constantly harassed” and warned that she will “not spare anyone” if something happened to him.
Taking to Twitter, Prasad’s second daughter Rohini Acharya said that the way her father was being harassed was not right. “Papa is constantly being harassed. I will not spare anyone if anything happens to them. All this will be remembered. Time is very powerful. This has to be remembered,” she said.
The former Bihar chief minister’s daughter in another tweet said that the 74-year-old leader can shake the chair of power in Delhi if he is harassed. “Limits of endurance are being tested now,” she said.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) earlier today reached the residence of Lalu Prasad’s daughter Misa Bharti in Delhi to interrogate him in the land-for-jobs scam case.
This comes a day after the probe agency had questioned former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi at her Patna residence and issued notice to Lalu Prasad in connection with the alleged scam that took place when Prasad was the railway minister in the UPA-I government.
The CBI had in October last year filed a charge-sheet against Lalu Prasad and 15 others in an alleged land-for-job scam during his tenure as the Union railway minister.
In its charge-sheet filed before a special CBI court, the central probe agency also named Prasad’s wife Rabri Devi, daughter Misa Bharti, former general manager of Central Railways Sowmya Raghvan, former CPO Railways Kamal Deep Mainrai, seven aspirants appointed as substitutes and four private individuals.
“During investigation, it has been found that the accused in conspiracy with the then GM, Central Railways, and CPO, Central Railways, engaged persons as substitutes in lieu of land either in their name or in the name of their close relatives,” a CBI spokesperson said in a statement.
A Delhi court summoned 14 accused, including Lalu Prasad and his family members and others on March 15.
