The Income Tax Department has issued fresh summons to RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s daughter Misa Bharti and son in law in benami property case. The department has asked them to appear before it on Monday.
It raided 22 places in and around Delhi last May in connection with the alleged benami property deals involving the RJD chief and his family.
Senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi had alleged that Lalu Prasad and his family were involved in corrupt land deals.
Misa Bharti had appeared before the Income Tax Department in June in connection with the over one thousand crore rupees benami property deals. She and her husband were questioned by I-T officials for over five hours in New Delhi.
The IT Department had also provisionally attached few immovable properties in the land deal case and tax evasion case.
A house and a piece of land in Delhi were attached after the department issued a provisional order under the Benami Transactions Act.
