Patna, April 27: The problems for Lalu Prasad Yadav's family doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. Days after his engagement to Aishwarya Rai, the Income Tax (I-T) department on Friday attached 7,105 square feet of land in Patna's Sheikhpura district under the provision of Benami Property Transaction Act, registered in the name of a factory belonging to Lalu Prasad's son Tej Pratap Yadav.

The I-T had earlier charged four members of Lalu Yadav's family with owning benami property under a tough law that attracts seven years in prison and a hefty fine for those found guilty.

The people involved in this scam are Lalu's son and former Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, wife Rabri Devi and daughter Misa Bharti along with her husband Shailesh.

Earlier in January, the I-T department stepped up actions under Benami Act, which provides provisional attachment and subsequent confiscation of benami properties, whether movable or immovable.

The RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav is already behind jail for his role in the Fodder Scam Case. Tej Pratap Yadav, who was the minister of health in the state at the time of coalition between RJD and Janata Dal (United), has been in news often for his controversial comments and irresponsible remarks. He is set to marry Aishwarya Rai in May. Aishwarya is the daughter of Bihar politician Chandrika Prasad Rai and grand-daughter of former Bihar CM Daroga Prasad Rai.
