Rabri alleges 6 NGO scam-accused poisoned to death by Nitish govt

RJD leader and Bihar’s former chief minister Rabri Devi on Thursday alleged the Nitish Kumar government killed six accused in the multi-crore rupees Srijan NGO scam by administering “poisonous injections” like many implicated in the Vyapam fraud in Madhya Pradesh.

“How have the six accused in the Srijan scam died? ... They were killed by poisonous injections,” Rabri Devi, wife of RJD president Lalu Prasad, told reporters outside the Legislative Council in Patna.

The alleged Srijan Mahila Vikas Sahyog Samiti scam relates to fraudulent transfer of crores of rupees of government money to the NGO in Bhagalpur over several years.

“What happened to your antaratma ki awaz (inner voice) now when the accused in the Srijan scam are being killed?” she said, hitting out at the chief minister while drawing a parallel between the Srijan and Vyapam scams.

Many accused in the Vyapam racket involving fraudulent recruitment in government jobs and admissions to educational institutions had died under mysterious circumstances.

Inside the Council, RJD members created a din demanding admission of their adjournment notice to discuss the Srijan scam. The chair was forced to adjourn the House till 2:30 pm amid the ruckus.

Rabri also demanded that the CBI probe be conducted under the supervision of the Supreme Court. –PTI
