The Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a supplementary charge sheet on August 6, naming 11 accused, four of whom have passed away since then.

The court has issued summons to Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tejaswi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav, Akhileshwar Singh, Hazari Prasad Rai, Sanjay Rai, Dharmendra Singh, and Kiran Devi.

The court explained that while Akhileshwar Singh was listed as an accused by the ED, his wife Kiran Devi was not charged initially. Despite this, she is involved in the case for her role in selling land to Misa Bharti in return for a job for her son, Abhisek.

The land-for-jobs scam relates to the time when Lalu Yadav served as the railway minister during the initial term of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government at the Central level.

During the period from 2004 to 2009, the accusation is that numerous individuals were appointed to Group “D” positions across different zones of the Indian Railways. In return, these individuals allegedly transferred their land to the family members of the then railway minister Lalu Yadav and A K Infosystems Private Limited.
