Today, the Central Bureau of Investigation summoned Bihar deputy CM and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav for questioning in the land-for-jobs case.

The CBI case, which names the Yadav couple and their daughters Misa and Hema, among others, is based on accusations that Mr Yadav and his family members bought land at cheap rates in exchange for jobs during his tenure as Union Railway Minister from 2004 to 2009.

Last year, in May 2022, an FIR was registered to name 12 people who allegedly got jobs in exchange for land. In July last year, Mr Yadav's aide and former Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Bhola Yadav was arrested by the CBI in the case.
