New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday moved a court here seeking cancellation of bail granted to Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav in the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) scam. Special Judge Geetanjali Goel issued a notice to Yadav on the application moved by the probe agency and sought his reply by September 28.
The court had in October 2018 granted bail to the minister after he appeared before it in pursuance to summons issued against him in the matter related to alleged irregularities in granting operational contract of two IRCTC hotels to a private firm.
The CBI had booked Lalu Prasad, his family members and others in July 2017 for allegedly making ill-gotten gains by tweaking the terms of tender of IRCTC hotels.
According to the CBI, Lalu Prasad committed misconduct by colluding with the owners of Chanakya and Sujata Hotel in Patna through IRCTC officials and owners of a front company belonging to Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi.
