NEW DELHI: The ED has summoned former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and his mother Rabri Devi in connection with its money laundering probe in a railway hotels allotment corruption case dating back to the UPA rule, officials today said.
They said Tejashwi, son of RJD chief and former Union Minister Lalu Prasad, has been asked to be present before the investigating officer (IO) of the case on October 10.
Lalu’s wife and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri has been summoned a day after on October 11. She was earlier summoned twice by the Enforcement Directorate in this case but she is understood to have sought more time to appear.
The case dates back to the time when Lalu was the Railway Minister in the UPA Government.
The central probe agency is expected to record their statements under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), under which it had registered an FIR against members of Lalu Prasad family and others sometime back. (AGENCIES)
