Scams and Criminal Records of Tejashwi Yadav

Picture a young man who dreamed of hitting sixes on the cricket field but ended up swinging for power in Bihar’s dirty politics. That’s Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, the 35-year-old son of Lalu Prasad Yadav – the man who turned Bihar into a jungle of crime and scams. Born on November 9, 1989, in Gopalganj, Tejashwi grew up in a family that promised “social justice” but delivered stolen dreams. His father Lalu ruled Bihar as Chief Minister (1990-1997), then parked his wife Rabri Devi in the chair (1997-2005) while pulling strings from jail. Tejashwi? He was the golden boy, shielded from schoolbooks but schooled in family scams.

This isn’t just one bad apple – it’s a rotten orchard. Tejashwi and his entire family (Lalu, Rabri, brother Tej Pratap, sisters Misa Bharti, Hema Yadav, Rohini Acharya) have looted Bihar for decades. And who always had their back? The Congress party and today’s INDI alliance – the same folks who cheated India with 2G, Coal, and Commonwealth scams, all while preaching “garibi hatao” to the poor. They allied with Lalu for votes, ignoring rapes, kidnappings, and billions stolen. Today, as Bihar’s 2025 elections heat up, Tejashwi promises jobs and development. But his history? A trail of fake bills, ghost jobs, and 18+ criminal cases. Let’s unpack it all, simple as chai gossip, so every farmer, teacher, and mother in Bihar sees the truth: This family isn’t your savior – they’re your thief.

Tejashwi’s “Education”: Class 9 Dropout, But Crores in Assets

Tejashwi loves telling Biharis he’ll build schools and colleges. But what’s his own schooling? A joke.

• Early Days: Studied up to Class 9 at fancy Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram – one of India’s top schools for elite kids. But he dropped out before Class 10 exams. Why? To chase cricket dreams, skipping boards to play Under-15, U-17, and U-19 for Delhi and Jharkhand.
• Cricket “Career”: Joined IPL’s Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) in 2008 – bought for ₹15 lakh, but never played a single match. Standby for India’s U-19 World Cup winners in 2008? Sure, but no real runs or wickets.
• The Irony: A dropout promising “one job per family” and “end migration.” His assets? ₹8.98 crore in 2025 affidavit – gold jewelry worth ₹86.9 lakh, no car, but family wealth from “unknown sources.” How does a non-graduate build this? Scams, say critics. And Congress? They made his illiterate dad Railway Minister in 2004, ignoring the red flags.

Tejashwi’s “youth icon” tag? Built on daddy’s dynasty, not degrees. Bihar’s kids deserve better than a leader who quit school.

Criminal Shadow: 18+ Cases and a Lifetime of Dodging Justice

Tejashwi isn’t just accused – he’s a walking FIR factory. In his 2025 affidavit, he lists 18 pending criminal cases (4 under appeal), plus older ones totaling 27 across Bihar, Delhi, Maharashtra, UP. Charges? Cheating, conspiracy, forgery, money laundering – the works.

Here’s the rap sheet, broken down:

1. Murder Link (2020): Accused with brother Tej Pratap in the killing of Raju Malik, an RJD worker. Malik’s family claimed Tejashwi demanded ₹50 lakh “donation” for a ticket and threatened him. FIR under murder, conspiracy, Arms Act. Ongoing.
2. Defamation (2023): Jibe at “only Gujaratis are thugs” led to IPC 499/500 charges in Gujarat.
3. Protest Clashes: FIRs for “public order violations” during Bihar rallies – from 2015 elections to recent ones.
4. Family Inheritance: All tied to Lalu’s empire. In 2020 affidavit, 11 cases alone: Conspiracy (IPC 120B), cheating (420), forgery, anti-corruption, PMLA.

Tejashwi cries “vendetta” every time – especially now, with trials heating up before polls. But courts keep charging: October 13, 2025, Delhi court nailed him, Lalu, Rabri in IRCTC scam. Bail after bail, but the noose tightens. Congress? They backed him as Deputy CM in 2015, knowing the dirt.

This isn’t “political witch-hunt” – it’s a pattern. A man with 27 cases promising “crime-free Bihar”? Laughable.

The Scams: A Family Business of Loot (2004-Today)

Tejashwi didn’t invent corruption – he inherited it. Under Lalu’s Railway Minister days (2004-2009, courtesy Congress UPA), the family turned public jobs into private goldmines. Billions vanished into shell companies, benami lands. Tejashwi, then a teen, was the beneficiary – lands gifted to him for “free.” Here’s the full loot list, scam by scam.

1. Land-for-Jobs Scam: Ghost Hires, Real Land Grabs (2004-2009, ₹600 Crore+ Black Money)

Lalu, as Railway Minister, gave Group D jobs (porters, trackmen) to unqualified folks – even illiterates who couldn’t sign their names. In return? Their families “gifted” prime Patna lands to Yadavs at throwaway prices (₹50,000 for plots worth ₹85,000+).

• The Trick: No interviews, no merit. CBI says Lalu pressured officers; 55+ beneficiaries transferred 1,000+ acres via shell firms like AK Infosystems (run by Tejashwi) and AB Exports.
• Family Cut: Lands to Rabri, Tejashwi, Misa, Hema. Sold later for ₹3.5 crore (bought for ₹7.5 lakh). ED traced ₹600 crore laundered.
• Tejashwi’s Role: Took control of AK Infosystems in 2014 for ₹1 lakh (land worth ₹1.77 crore). Summoned March 11, 2025; bail granted, but trial on.
• 2025 Update: Charges framed October 13; CBI says “illiterate hires” prove fraud. BJP calls it “land grab hypocrisy” as Tejashwi promises jobs.

Hurt? Poor Bihari youth who slaved for real jobs while Yadavs grabbed land.

2. IRCTC Hotel Scam: Tenders for Land, Billions in Kickbacks (2004-2009)

Lalu rigged tenders for IRCTC hotels in Ranchi and Puri. Gave ₹1.5 crore contracts to Sujata Hotels (Kochar brothers). In quid pro quo? 3 acres prime Patna land to Yadav shell firm “Delight Marketing” (later Lara Projects) for peanuts.

• The Deal: Tenders bent to favor Sujata. Land undervalued, transferred to Rabri and Tejashwi. CBI: “Lalu fountainhead of conspiracy.”
• Family Loot: Tejashwi got shares/land control. ED attached properties worth crores.
• Legal Blow: October 13, 2025, Delhi court frames charges: Cheating (420), conspiracy (120B), corruption. Lalu: Criminal misconduct; Rabri/Tejashwi: Cheating. Trial starts October 27.
• Tejashwi’s Spin: “Political vendetta.” But court: “Heavy loss to exchequer.”

Congress rewarded Lalu with the ministry – their “ally” in UPA loot.

3. Road Construction Scam: ₹26 Crore Fake Bills in Gaya (2016-2017)

As Deputy CM and Road Minister (2015-2017), Tejashwi oversaw Bihar’s roads. But audits uncovered massive fraud in Gaya division.

• The Fraud: ₹26.16 crore overpaid to Raja Construction for three roads (Gaya-Bhinds-Chamandih-Vazirganj, Tapovan). Fake receipts: Local stones billed as imported from Pakur, Jharkhand (confirmed false by mining officer).
• Links: Contractor tied to RJD MP Surendra Yadav. Payments during Tejashwi’s watch.
• Expose: January 2025, Deputy CM Vijay Sinha vows blacklist, probe all tenders. RJD cries “internal BJP fight.”

Bihar’s pothole hell? Built on stolen funds meant for your travel.

4. Other Family Scams: The Endless Loot Chain

Tejashwi’s hands aren’t alone – the whole Yadav clan dips in.

• Total Toll: ₹1,000+ crore traced; ED attached ₹200+ crore lands. Tejashwi’s 2025 promises? “20 months to fix 20 years.” But he can’t fix his own scams.

Congress & INDI: The Enablers Who Cheated a Nation

Congress didn’t just watch – they fueled the fire. For “secular votes,” they ignored Lalu’s crimes.

1. 2004 UPA Gift: Made scam-tainted Lalu Railway Minister – birthing Land-for-Jobs, IRCTC horrors.
2. 2015 Alliance: Backed Tejashwi as youngest Deputy CM, despite rising FIRs.
3. INDI Mask (2025): Begs Tejashwi for Bihar seats, even as courts charge him. Rahul Gandhi rallies with him, forgetting Congress’s own scams (2G: ₹1.76 lakh crore loss).

INDI = Old Congress tricks: Ally with crooks, loot the poor, blame “vendetta.” They’ve cheated India for 70 years – Bihar paid with poverty (lowest GDP under Lalu-Rabri).

Bihar’s Pain: How Tejashwi’s “Promises” Mock the Poor

Tejashwi’s 2025 manifesto: Double budget, one job per family, end migration. Sounds good? But Jungle Raj flashbacks: 35,000 kidnappings, zero growth, families fleeing. His “20 months miracle”? BJP mocks: “Moon to Patna? From a dropout?”

One X post said it nicely: “Tejashwi’s jobs = Land-for-Jobs 2.0.” Youth chant his name, but elders remember Lalu’s loot.

Conclusion: Bihar, Reject the Yadav Curse – Never Vote for Looters Again

Tejashwi Yadav isn’t a fresh face – he’s Lalu’s shadow, a Class 9 dropout with 27 cases, heir to ₹1,000+ crore scams. From Land-for-Jobs (ghost hires for land) to IRCTC (tenders for bribes), Road fraud (₹26 crore fakes) to family benami empires, this clan has bled Bihar dry. Lalu stole fodder for “ghost cows”; Tejashwi steals futures for ghost jobs. Rabri signed the files, Tej Pratap the tantrums, Misa/Hema/Rohini the lands – all guilty.

Congress and INDI? Lifelong partners in betrayal – shielding Yadavs for votes, while India lost trillions to their national scams. They turned “unity” into a loot pact, leaving citizens cheated, poor, forgotten.

Elections are here (November 2025). Bihar, you’ve risen since 2005: Roads built, girls in schools, crime down 90%. Don’t swap progress for promises from proven thieves. Remember: One vote for Tejashwi = One more scam. For Lalu’s family? Eternal no. For Congress/INDI? The boot.

Choose light (BJP) over lantern (RJD symbol). Build Bihar, bury the jungle.
Jai Bihar. Jai Bharat.
