New Delhi: Delhi court on Wednesday deferred till May 22 the pronouncement of its decision on framing of charges against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, his family members and others accused in the alleged money laundering case linked to the IRCTC hotel scam being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The Rouse Avenue Court, which was slated to deliver the order on Tuesday, deferred the pronouncement until May 22.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet in this case against Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, and Tejashwi Yadav, among others. The court had already framed charges and reserved its verdict, but it has now been postponed to a later date.
Charges framed against 14 accused
It should be noted that earlier, on October 13, 2025, the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi had framed serious criminal charges against a total of 14 accused, including Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, and Tejashwi Yadav, in the IRCTC scam. The court stated unequivocally that irregularities in the tender process occurred with Lalu Yadav’s knowledge and that he directly interfered in the matter.
Lalu family has challenged in Delhi High Court
The Lalu family has challenged in the Delhi High Court the lower court’s October 2025 decision, which framed corruption charges against them. However, the ED has strongly opposed the petition filed by the Lalu family, claiming that it has “solid evidence” in the case.
