What happened in this land for job scam?
This case connects with Group ‘D’ appointments at Jabalpur in the West Central Division of the Indian Railways. According to the sources, during the period of 2004-2009, appointments against land gift or transfer in the name of the RJD supremo’s family or associates are concerned with Prasad’s term as Union Railway Minister. A case was lodged against Lalu Prasad, his wife, his two daughters, some unknown government officials and others, on May 18, 2022.
