The Enforcement Directorate (ED) recovered Rs.70 lakh cash, 1.5 kg gold jewellery, 540 grams of gold bullion and foreign currency, including 900 US dollars, from the Lalu Yadav's daughters and son Tejashwi Yadav premises during its raids on Friday in context with a money laundering probe in an alleged ‘land-for-jobs’ case.

The ED had raided 24 locations in the national capital region (NCR), Patna, Ranchi and Mumbai, including the Bihar deputy chief minister’s residence in Delhi.

On Friday, Raids were carried out at the homes of three of Lalu Yadav’s daughters Ragini, Chanda and Hema Yadav, and former RJD MLA Abu Dojana, who is very close to Mr. Lalu Yadav.

The central agency also reached the residence of Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Jitendra Yadav in Delhi’s Ghaziabad. Jitendra Yadav is married to Lalu’s daughter Ragini.

People familiar with the ED probe also said the residence in New Friends Colony in Delhi raided on Friday, where Tejashwi was present, is registered in the name of AK Infosystems Pvt Ltd, an accused company in the case.

One of the land transfers by bribe givers who got jobs in the railways was done to AK Infosystems, according to the allegations.
