"The land at Patna is proceeds of crime and a charge of money laundering is likened to be framed against them," the court order stated.

The court noted that Sujata Hotels directors Vijay and Vinay Kochhar subsequently transferred prime land in Patna to Delight Marketing Company Pvt Ltd, owned by the family of RJD leader and former Union minister PC Gupta and his wife Sarla Gupta. The CBI and ED have alleged that Lalu Prasad and IRCTC officials misused their positions to rig the tender process and favour Sujata Hotels. In return, 358 decimal of prime Patna land was allegedly transferred in 2005 to DMCPL....
