IRCTC case: Lalu Yadav granted regular bail
New Delhi Jan 19: A Special CBI court on Saturday granted regular bail to former Railways minister Lalu Yadav in the IRCTC scam case.
Special CBI judge Arun Bhardwaj directed the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo to furnish an amount of Rs 1 lakh as a personal bail bond and one surety of like amount. Yadav is already on an interim bail while the other accused in the case are on regular bail.
Meanwhile, in the case filed by the Enforcement Directorate, order on regular bail plea is already reserved by the court and listed for hearing on January 28.
Lalu is facing charges of misusing his position in the allotment of a contract to a private company for the maintenance of two IRCTC hotels located at Puri and Ranchi.
The prosecution report had stated that the two hotels of the Indian Railways were first transferred to IRCTC and was sub-leased to the Sujata Hotel Pvt. Ltd owned by Vijay and Vinay Kochhar for maintenance.
Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) also filed a reply in the Delhi Court and opposed regular bail plea to all the accused in the case including Lalu, his wife Rabri Devi, son Tejashwi and others. ED in its reply said that the offences were affecting the economy, thereby posing the serious threat to the financial health of the country.
Whereas Counsel for Lalu and family said, no one arrested during trial.
All documents seized, no vulnerable witness cited by ED and He (Laloo) is 69 year old and not well, Rabri is 63-year old. Tejaswi was in his teens when this conspiracy started, so it's matter of debate if he was in knowledge of what was going on.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
