The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has found itself in a fix just ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, which are inching closer. Party founder and president Lalu Prasad Yadav, his wife and former chief minister Rabri Devi, and son Tejasvi Yadav have all been charged with criminal cases in the alleged IRCTC scam case.

The court order came just before the elections next month.

The politician and his family have pleaded not guilty and said that they would face the trial.

The Delhi Rouse Avenue court framed charges of corruption, criminal conspiracy, and cheating against Lalu Yadav and his family, a report from Bar and Bench said.
