Hundreds of RJD workers also reached the ED office and raised slogans hailing the mother-daughter duo. Tej Pratap, 36, too appeared before the investigators. Lalu Yadav, 76, has been asked to depose before the federal probe agency in Patna on Wednesday, the sources said. The statements of the three are to be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), they added. Last year, the ED filed a charge-sheet in the case against Lalu Yadav’s family members before a Delhi court, naming Rabri Devi and their daughters Misa Bharti and Hema Yadav as accused.
The probe pertains to the allegation that Lalu Yadav, during his tenure as the railway minister in the UPA-1 government at the Centre, indulged in corruption for the appointment of group D substitutes in Indian Railways during 2004-2009.
