They were summoned by the court after it took cognizance of a charge sheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Granting bail, the court said the Enforcement Directorate sought time to file arguments on their regular bail application.
During the proceedings, the court asked the ED why it needed the accused’s custody when it had not arrested them during its investigation.
On January 30, the CBI told the court that it would file a supplementary charge sheet within a month in a case related to an alleged land-for-job scam in the Railways against Lalu Prasad and his family members. The central probe agency said that the final report will be filed by the end of February.
