RJD chief Lalu Prasad, Rabri Devi and their sons Tej Pratap and Tejashwi Prasad Yadav (extreme right) during a party meeting in Patna. The attachment notice, accessed by PTI, has been issued under Section 24(3) of the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act and Mr. Prasad’s kin have been identified as “beneficiaries” of the benami assets. Benami properties are those in which the real beneficiary is not the one in whose name the property has been purchased. Tax department officials had said Mr. Prasad’s kin held some of the properties under their scanner in a “benami” way. If it tries to silence one Lalu, crore of Lalu will come forward.
