A Delhi court formally charged former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and his wife, Rabri Devi, today in the alleged land-for-jobs scam. Special Judge Vishal Gogne stated that the charges have been formally framed against the accused, Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, who have pleaded not guilty and requested a trial. The case has been scheduled for further proceedings on the 27th of this month.
The court had ordered the framing of charges against Lalu Prasad, his family members, and others last month. The court has framed charges in the case against 41 accused and discharged 52 others. Out of the 103 accused named in the CBI's charge sheet, five have passed away.
