The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today issued summons to RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s son-in-law Shailesh Kumar in the alleged 8,000 crore rupess money laundering case. The summon came a day after Lalu’s daughter Misa Bharti was questioned by the agency for eight hours yesterday.
CBI had conducted searches at farmhouses of Bharti, her husband Shailesh Kumar on Saturday. ED is the third central probing body investigating alleged financial irregularities by Lalu Prasad’s family after the CBI and the Income Tax department, which recently attached Benami assets worth about 180 crore rupees.
