Summary:
Former Bihar chief minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RLD) chief Lalu Prasad, accused of alleged irregularities in granting the operational contract of two IRCTC hotels to a private firm, will appear before the Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Monday. However, Lalu Prasad wasn’t granted regular bail in the ED case after the agency sought time to file a reply to the bail applications. The CBI, which had on April 16 filed the chargesheet in the case, had said there was enough evidence against Prasad, Rabri, Tejashwi and others to charge them. The Patiala House Court granted bail to Rabri and Tejashwi Yadav in the CBI case on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and a surety of a like amount last month. Lalu, who is currently lodged in a Jharkhand jail could not make it to the previous hearing on October 6..
