The case pertains to allegations that Lalu Prasad, as railway minister, handed over the maintenance of two hotels run by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), a subsidiary of the Indian Railways, in Ranchi and Puri to Sujata Hotels, a company owned by Vinay and Vijay Kochhar, in return for a prime plot of three acres in Patna through a benami company.
The CBI has already filed the chargesheet which also names Lalu, wife Rabri Devi and their younger son Tejashwi Yadav among 14 others.
The central investigating agency had recently questioned former CM Rabri Devi in connection with the case.
