The CBI has also accused Lalu's son and Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav, his daughters Chanda Yadav and Ragini Yadav of taking a property in South Delhi as a bribe in lieu of issuing railway projects to a private company. The CBI alleged that the private company bought the property through a shell company at a very low price and then the relatives of Tejashwi Yadav and Lalu Yadav bought the shell company for just Rs 4 lakhs.
