CBI reopens probe against Lalu Yadav in IRCTC scam case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has re-initiated probe against former RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav in the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) scam, according to an NDTV report.

The federal agency had registered a criminal case against then Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav. Bihar's current Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, and Yadav's daughters were also among those named in the corruption scam.

In 2018, the federal agency began probe into allegations of corruption in the allotment of Railway projects when Yadav held the portfolio. However, the inquiry was closed in May 2021, with CBI sources saying that "no case has been made out of the allegations", NDTV reported.

CBI's probe comes months after Nitish Kumar parted ways with the BJP and joined hands with Rashtriya Janata Dal to form the government in Bihar. It is likely to kickstart a political storm in the state.
