New Delhi: As the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) grilled Lalu Prasad Yadav in the land-for-jobs case for hours, the latter’s daughter Rohini Acharya alleged that her father is being “harassed”.

Taking to Twitter, she said that if anything happens to her father, she will “not spare anyone”.

“My father is being constantly harassed. If anything happens to him, I will not spare anyone. It’s not right that my father is being mistreated. It will be remembered. Time is powerful, and has many strengths. This has to be remembered,” Rohini Acharya said in a tweet on Tuesday.

“If my father undergoes any suffering because of all this, I will shake the chair in Delhi. Now the limit of enduring has passed,” she added in a subsequent tweet.
The CBI filed the chargesheet against former Bihar chief ministers Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, their daughter Misa Bharti, and 13 others in the land-for-jobs scam in October last year.

According to the chargesheet, it was discovered during the inquiry that the accused conspired with the then-GM Central Railways and CPO, Central Railways to engage persons as substitutes in lieu of land in their names or the names of their close relatives.

This land was purchased for significantly less than the current circle rate and substantially less than the market rate. According to the CBI statement, the aspirants were also accused of using bogus IDs and submitting fraudulent attested documents to the Ministry of Railways.

The alleged scam took place between 2004 and 2009, during Lalu Yadav’s tenure as Railway Minister. The chargesheet includes the name of the then-RJD chief as well as the then-Railway General Manager.
