A day after Bihar's big power shift, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav arrived at the Enforcement Directorate office in Patna this morning for questioning in the land-for-jobs case. His daughter Misha Bharti, also an accused in the corruption case, accompanied the 75-year-old leader.

The case relates to alleged irregularities during Mr Yadav's tenure as Railway Minister between 2004 and 2009. It is alleged that the veteran politician and the other accused got jobseekers to transfer lands in the names of Yadav family members at throwaway rates.

Mr Yadav, his wife and former Chief Minister Rabri Devi and daughter Misa are among the accused in the case. The CBI is investigating the allegations of bribery in the case, and ED is probing the money laundering trail.
