Trouble seems to be never ending for Lalu Yadav and his family members. On Tuesday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) quizzed former Chief Minister of Bihar Rabri Devi in connection with a money laundering case in which huge amount of old currency notes were deposited after demonetisation.
According to sources, Rabri Devi’s statement was recorded in connection with a cooperative bank involved in channeling black money during demonetisation. The case was registered after Income Tax probe in April 2017.
According to allegations an RJD MLA reportedly deposited Rs 10.6 lakh in demonetised currency on November 15, 2016. It has been alleged that RJD MLA deposited the money on behalf of Lalu’s wife Rabri Devi, all in Rs 500 and Rs 1000 old currency notes.
Four officers of the agency reached Rabri Devi’s Patna residence in the afternoon and quizzed her for 20 minutes. Lalu Yadav, who is out on bail was also inside the bungalow.
According to sources, Bihar Awami Cooperative Bank is headed by Anwar Ahmed, a close confidant of Lalu Prasad Yadav. india today
