PTI, PATNA: Former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi was today grilled for six hours here by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a railway hotels allotment corruption case, official sources said. Rabri Devi, wife of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, reached the ED zonal office in the state capital by noon. “A special team of the agency from Delhi recorded her statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). She was questioned for six hours,” a senior official said.
Lalu Prasad was the railway minister in the UPA-I government. Rabri Devi’s appearance before the central probe agency comes after she skipped similar summonses at least six times. It is understood that the agency allowed her request to be questioned in Patna and not in Delhi, where the criminal case has been registered.
