PATNA: In a fresh salvo against RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s family, senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi today alleged that it had amassed “benami property” worth Rs 115 crore in a posh area of New Delhi through a shell company.
RJD, however, dismissed the allegations and dared Modi to get all the charges probed by a central agency.
“Lalu Prasad’s family got control over A B Exports Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, which owned a land and an under construction house on it, valued together at Rs 115 crore at New Friends Colony in New Delhi. The company’s entire share holding, directorship and properties have been given to Prasad’s family,” Modi alleged showing documents purportedly supporting his claim.
One Ashok Kumar Banthia’s A B Exports got interest free loans of Rs 5 crore – Rs one crore each from five diamond jewellers of Mumbai – and bought an 800 sq metre plot (no D- 1088) in New Friend’s Colony in 2007-08, he claimed. (AGENCIES)
