RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav was recently granted bail in the fodder scam case and now he is again under the radar. Now, the CBI has filed a fresh corruption case against him for alleged irregularities in recruitment between 2004 and 2009 when he was Railway Minister.

It is reported that besides Lalu Yadav, his daughter and other family members have also been named accused in the new case.

The CBI today started searches at 15 locations linked to the Rashtriya Janata Dal patriarch, including his residences.

According to reports, on Friday, a huge police deployment was seen while the CBI searches were going on at the residence of Rabri Devi, Lalu’s wife. He was the chief minister of Bihar between 1990 and 1997.

Prabhat Kumar, the lawyer of Lalu Yadav said that they had pleaded that he served his five-year sentence in this case. Prasad has already served 42 months in jail against the half-sentence of 30 months. Though the CBI opposed the petition saying he is still to serve half the sentence in this case, we had submitted the trial court’s certified copy. The court has granted bail.

Earlier, in February, Lalu Yadav’s son Tejashwi Yadav said that if his father would have shaken his hands with the BJP, he would have been Raja Harishchandra, but today he is fighting against RSS- BJP. Hence, he is facing imprisonment. We will not get scared.

At that time, Congress’s Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also backed him at that time and said that the key aspect of BJP’s politics is that those who don’t bend before it are persecuted in every way. Lalu Prasad Yadav is under attack because of this politics. I hope he gets justice.

Last month, Lalu Yadav walked out of jail last month after the Jharkhand High Court granted him bail in the Rs 139 crore Doranda Treasury scam case. A CBI special court had in February sentenced him to five years in prison in the case. He was also fined Rs 60 lakh.
