The IRCTC scam, also known as the 'Land-for-Hotels' scam, involves allegations that former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav's family received prime land in Patna as a bribe for awarding contracts to maintain two IRCTC hotels to a private firm.
The primary accused include former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, son Tejashwi Yadav, and other family members and associates.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) primarily investigated the corruption aspects, while the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a parallel probe into money laundering charges related to the scam.
It is alleged that contracts for the maintenance of two IRCTC hotels were awarded to a private firm, in return for which land plots in Patna were transferred to a company linked to Lalu Prasad Yadav's family at undervalued rates.
