Patna, March 13: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Monday alleged that the Enforcement Directorate had finished its raid at his Delhi house last week "in half an hour" but its officials stayed on at his hours awaiting "clearance from above".
Talking to reporters outside the state assembly, Yadav also rubbished the ED's claim of detecting proceeds of crime amounting to Rs 600 crore and alleged that "used jewellery" of his married sisters and their in-laws was photographed and shown as "recovery".
"Be it Union Home Minister Amit Shah or anybody else, the director who repeats the same script for these agencies must now be changed", the RJD leader said mockingly.
"We are not, like the BJP-RSS, students of entire political science. We are practitioners of real politics and have the conviction and public support to take them on. But they are scared and are trying to run away from the political battle", added Yadav.

Mumbai: Actress Rakhi Sawant and YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani have been summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell in connection with the ongoing controversy surrounding the show India's Got Latent. The trio, who appeared in a controversial episode of the show, have been asked to record their statements.
Yashasvi Yadav, IG of the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, confirmed that Rakhi Sawant has been summoned to appear on February 27. However, it remains unclear whether Sawant, who has reportedly relocated to Dubai, will return to Mumbai for the investigation.
Ashish Chanchlani and Ranveer Allahbadia have been called to record their statements on February 24. While Chanchlani has kept a low profile since the controversy erupted, Allahbadia has reportedly been unreachable, with his phone switched off and his residence locked.
Comedian Samay Raina, the showrunner of India’s Got Latent, has also been summoned but requested an extension until March 17 due to an ongoing tour in Canada and the US. His request for a virtual statement was denied.
The controversy began when Ranveer Allahbadia, appearing as a guest on the show, made an inappropriate remark during a segment, asking a contestant: "Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?"
The comment sparked outrage among viewers, who accused the show’s creators and participants of promoting vulgarity. Multiple complaints and FIRs were subsequently filed against Allahbadia, Raina, and others involved with the show.
In response, Raina deleted all episodes of India's Got Latent from his YouTube channel and expressed his willingness to cooperate fully with the investigation. Allahbadia also issued a public apology, acknowledging a lapse in judgment during the episode.
The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has announced that 30–40 individuals involved in the first six episodes of the show will be summoned as part of the investigation.
