The agency is set to file a supplementary charge sheet against them alleging their "direct" involvement in the case. Yadav was confronted with the statement of co-accused Ankit Katyal, who, according to ED, "knowingly assisted" Prasad, Yadav and their family members in money laundering. Yadav was also asked about a property in New Friends Colony in New Delhi.
ED had last month summoned both Prasad and Yadav for questioning, but they haven t appeared before the agency so far. As per available information, they will be summoned again. The agency will confront Prasad and Yadav with "damning" statements of Amit Katyal, a co-accused in the case who was charge-sheeted earlier this week along with Rabri Devi and others, and other evidence.
It might be mentioned here that a month before his arrest, in November last year, Katyal had petitioned the Delhi HC seeking stay on any coercive steps by the ED. Interestingly, Katyal in his petition, reviewed by ET, had claimed that he was a protected witness of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Katyal had claimed that he had "fully cooperated" with the CBI which resulted in a charge sheet filed by the agency. He had also claimed that he was cited as a witness by the CBI in its charge sheet.
