Former Chief Minister of Bihar and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the charges framed by the lower court in the alleged IRCTC scam. This petition of Lalu Yadav has been listed for hearing before the bench of Justice Swarnkant Sharma in Delhi High Court on Monday.

Rouse Avenue Court had framed charges against Lalu Yadav and others.

In October last year, the Special Court of Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court had framed charges of corruption and criminal conspiracy against Lalu Prasad Yadav and other accused. In this case, charges of criminal conspiracy and fraud have also been leveled against Lalu Yadav’s wife and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi, his son and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and others.

While framing the charges, the court of Special Judge Vishal Gogane had said that when Lalu Prasad Yadav was the Railway Minister, he allegedly misused his position. According to the court, the eligibility conditions related to IRCTC’s hotel tender were manipulated so that favored companies could be benefited.

The court admitted that prima facie Lalu Yadav had knowledge of the conspiracy.

Rouse Avenue Court also admitted that prima facie Lalu Yadav was aware of this alleged conspiracy and he was actively involved in the decision process. This caused huge loss to the government treasury. This case started with the FIR registered by CBI in the year 2017.

According to CBI, between 2004 and 2009, when Lalu Yadav was the Railway Minister. Then a conspiracy was hatched to give the tender of IRCTC hotels located in Patna and Puri to certain private parties. In return, the accused were allegedly given bribe in the form of land and shares. After completion of the investigation, CBI filed a charge sheet against Lalu Prasad Yadav and 11 other accused. Now it will be decided in the Delhi High Court whether further action will continue on the allegations made by the lower court or not.

BJP has launched a scathing attack on former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi’s official residence being vacated in the dark of night. BJP says that if everything was as per the rules, then why was the house not vacated in broad daylight. Now political rhetoric regarding this entire incident has intensified.

BJP state spokesperson Neeraj Kumar raised questions as to why Rabri Devi was vacating the house at night. He said what was the problem in vacating the house in front of media and public during the day. Was there something that was being hidden? Neeraj Kumar alleged that government property was misused for a long time.

‘Had to leave like thieves’

Neeraj Kumar said in his statement that Lalu family cannot do any work in broad daylight, because they know that there are allegations of corruption and irregularities against them. He sarcastically asked whether it was possible that some “treasure” had been hidden, which had to be taken out quietly at night.

Why action was taken only at night even after notice?

BJP spokesperson said that when Rabri Devi received the notice to vacate the house, even after so much trouble, if the house was vacated, that too at night, secretly. He demanded that Rabri Devi should come forward and tell the public how government property was used.

Will not take away by opening the tap – Neeraj Kumar

At the end of his statement, Neeraj Kumar sarcastically said, “Take care, do not take it with the spout open.” There is intense discussion in political circles regarding this comment also. At the same time, no formal reaction has come from RJD on this statement yet, but it is believed that there may be a counterattack soon.

The stir has once again intensified in the politics of Bihar. The question is being raised whether the official residence of former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Rabri Devi is being vacated. Some activities were seen late night at Rabri residence located at 10 Circular Road, Patna, after which various kinds of speculations have started.

According to the information, some pickup vans were seen going inside the housing complex late at night. It is being told that trees and plants were taken out through these vehicles. There is discussion that these plants are being shifted to the cow shed located on Gola Road and from there they will be sent to some other place later. However, no official confirmation was given by RJD on this entire matter till late night.

Has the process of vacating the house started?

The important thing is that furniture or other household items have not been seen taken out of the residence yet. Despite this, there is a strong discussion in the political circles that gradually all the belongings can be removed from here and the process of vacating the house has started.

It is being told that at present both Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav are in Delhi. In such a situation, such activities in his absence have increased the questions.

Rabri Devi had received notice to vacate her residence on November 25.

It is noteworthy that on November 25, Rabri Devi was given a notice by the Building Construction Department to vacate her residence at 10 Circular Road. After this, he has been allotted a residence at 39 Harding Road. This bungalow has been given to him as he is the leader of opposition in the Legislative Council.

At present the question is whether Rabri Devi’s residence is really being vacated or it is just a rumour. Everyone’s eyes are fixed on RJD’s official reaction on this.

Lalu family’s bungalow is being built in Mahuabagh, Patna, on which a lot of politics is going on. After the formation of the new government in Bihar, as soon as the notice to vacate the Rabri residence located at 10 Circular Road was received, the discussion about this bungalow intensified. Now the video of this bungalow has been shared on X by Bihar BJP.

‘Complete arrangements for luxury and luxurious life’

The video has been uploaded from the X handle of Bihar BJP on last Monday (December 01, 2025) night and RJD has been attacked. It is written in

Lalu ji’s “socialism” means the only family that is prosperous through looting!

Lalu Family and Private Limited Company has made complete arrangements for luxury and luxurious life.

MP Sanjay Jaiswal took a jibe at the bungalow like this

In this whole matter, BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal said that he has seen the bungalow. It is quite luxurious. He said, “We know very well that Lalu ji does not have any business. Rabri ji also does not have any business. Tejashwi Yadav definitely has a business that he can buy a four-storey house in Delhi’s Defense Colony for Rs 4.5 lakh.”

Sanjay Jaiswal said that in the end what will happen is that Mahuabagh bungalow will also turn out to be a scam. It will be seen when he files income tax return.

On the other hand, RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed said that Sanjay Jaiswal should answer on the allegations made by Prashant Kishore. You have not responded to that in the public domain till date. Please provide information about the things that came to light regarding the petrol pump and your illegal property.

Rabri Devi, wife of former Chief Minister of Bihar and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, has to vacate the government residence located at 10 Circular Road. Notice has been issued by the Building Construction Department. He has been given a second residence at 39 Harding Road. Meanwhile, politics is going on continuously. Meanwhile, BJP leader and Union Minister Giriraj Singh has also reacted.

While talking to the media on Wednesday (November 26, 2025), Giriraj Singh said on this issue, “There is a village saying, the joint gets burnt but the spasm does not go away. Does anyone get a bungalow? MLA, MP, Member of Legislative Council, Leader of Opposition, Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister get? This is a constitutional process. I think it is not right to insist on this.”

RJD against this decision

Even though Union Minister Giriraj Singh has said that this is a constitutional process, RJD is not ready to accept it. RJD state president Mangani Lal Mandal has said that the bungalow at 10 Circular Road, located just opposite One Anne Marg, the official residence of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, will not be vacated under any circumstances. This decision shows the ill will of the ruling NDA towards our leader Lalu Prasad.

Even though politics is going on regarding Rabri’s residence located at 10 Circular Road, it is considered certain that he will have to vacate the house. Let us tell you that Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya has also spoken against this decision of the government. Now it remains to be seen what happens next.

‘…then there is no answer to madness’

On the other hand, journalists asked Giriraj Singh that Mamata Banerjee is saying that if BJP targets Bengal, we will shake the country. On this, the Union Minister said, “SIR will be implemented. SIR is a constitutional system, the voter list is purified. Therefore, it will happen. If they have accepted that Bangladesh has been made not Bengal and I (Mamata Banerjee) am the Prime Minister, then there is no answer to this madness.”

Rabri Devi, wife of former Chief Minister and RJD supremo Lalu Yadav, has received a notice to vacate her residence located at 10 Circular Road. Politics has intensified in Bihar on the notice given by the Building Construction Department. While the opposition is cornering the government on this matter, Jitan Ram Manjhi’s party (Hum) which is part of the NDA has now reacted on this. On Wednesday (November 26, 2025), HAM’s national president and Bihar government minister Santosh Suman said that the department has not done anything wrong. This is the decision of the court.

Santosh Suman said, “Four years ago, the Allahabad High Court had given a decision that no house would be allotted to any former Chief Minister. Rabri Devi is the leader of the House, hence till now she was living in the house located at 10 Circular Road. Now this is the decision of the government. She is not being made homeless. Notice has been given to change the house. The house she has got is also very big. There should be no politics in this.”

‘Government can change residence whenever it wants’

On Tej Pratap Yadav’s statement about Lalu-Nitish’s friendship, Santosh Suman said, “Whatever Tej Pratap Yadav may be saying in politics, but he also knows the law very well. This is the reason why he himself vacated his residence after losing the election. So no kind of politics should be done in this too. This is a government residence and it belongs to the government. The government can change the residence whenever it wants.”

Let us tell you that when Jitan Ram Manjhi became the Chief Minister of Bihar, he had given special facilities to the former Chief Minister. Y+ category security was provided along with large accommodation. In such a situation, at that time all the former Chief Ministers started getting this facility. Jagannath Mishra who was alive at that time was also given this facility. When Nitish Kumar resigned from the post of Chief Minister and made Jitan Ram Manjhi the Chief Minister, all these arrangements were made for Nitish Kumar also. However later this rule changed.

After family feud and defeat, RJD meeting was held at Tejashwi Yadav’s Polo Road residence in Patna on Monday (17 November). Especially Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi also attended it. During this, Lalu Yadav said that only Tejashwi will take the party forward. The revival of the party has been done by Tejashwi only. Apart from these, no one else.

At the same time, Tejashwi Yadav looked emotional while holding the mic. He said, “Everyone says, fire this one, fire that one, if you fire everyone then who will be left?” Tejashwi was referring to the allegations leveled against close RJD MLCs like Sunil Singh, Sanjay Yadav and Rameez in the past.

We will accept whatever decision is taken – Tejashwi

Former Deputy CM of Bihar and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav also said, “We will accept whatever decision you take.” On which Rabri Devi, Misa Bharti and all the MLAs supported Tejashwi and talked about making him the leader of the legislative party.

Rohini accused Tejashwi, Sanjay Yadav and Rameez

After the crushing defeat of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in the Bihar Assembly elections, discord came to the fore in the family of party supremo Lalu Yadav. Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya had announced to break ties with both the family and the party. He had made serious allegations against his brother Tejashwi Yadav as well as Sanjay Yadav and Rameez. He had said that on taking the names of Sanjay Yadav and Rameez, you are thrown out of the house, insulted and abused.

Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya had written on Instagram, “I am leaving politics and breaking ties with my family. Sanjay Yadav and Rameez asked me to do the same. I am taking all the blame on myself.” Let us tell you that in the assembly elections 2025, the RJD led grand alliance had to face a crushing defeat. This alliance has got a total of 35 seats. RJD got 25 seats. On the other hand, NDA performed brilliantly and won 202 seats.

Amidst the ongoing dispute in the Lalu family, elder son Tej Pratap Yadav has sought help from the Center and Nitish government of Bihar. A post in this regard has been made on the social media of Tej Pratap Yadav’s party Janashakti Janata Dal. ‘Jaichand’ has been mentioned in the long post. He says that this is not just a matter of one family but of the soul of Bihar.

Through the post, Tej Pratap said that some Jaichand type people are making nefarious attempts to keep my parents under mental and physical pressure. If there is even an iota of truth in these, then this is not just an attack on my family but a direct attack on the soul of the entire RJD.

Tej Pratap said, “Irregularities in ticket distribution, distribution of tickets by taking money, and mixed politics of sycophants, all these ignored the pillars that built RJD for years, who sacrificed themselves day and night for the party. Today, the same Jaichand, on the basis of greed and flattery, is destroying both the house and the organization.”

‘Strictest action should be taken against those responsible’

Along with Prime Minister Narendra and Home Minister Amit Shah, he urged the Nitish government of Bihar to conduct a fair, strict and immediate investigation into this entire episode. He said, “If my parents have been subjected to any form of mental or physical torture, then the strictest action should be taken against those responsible. My father is already unwell. He cannot bear such pressure at all.”

‘FIR should be registered and sent behind bars tomorrow’

Tej Pratap Yadav made it clear through the post that if anyone misbehaved, pushed, abused or mentally/physically tortured my sister, my mother and my father, then an FIR should be immediately registered against the names of Sanjay Yadav, Rameez Nemat Khan and Pritam Yadav and they should be sent behind the bars. This is not just a matter of one family but of the soul of Bihar.

Tejashwi Yadav was called arrogant

Appeal to Lalu-Rabri to handle the situation
