The ED had also searched the house of Lalu Yadav’s family members and close friends in this case some time ago. He also claimed to have seized unaccounted cash worth Rs 1 crore in the raid.

land exchange job scam
It is worth mentioning that from 2004 to 2009, Lalu Yadav was the Railway Minister. Land in lieu of job is related to railway recruitment. It is alleged that Lalu Yadav, while being the Railway Minister in the UPA government from 2004 to 2009, gave jobs to people in exchange for land. According to the allegation, Yadav issued advertisements without being the railway minister. Many people were recruited for Group-D jobs in Railways. In return, people had to give land. In this case, CBI has registered a case against Lalu Yadav and his family.
