RJD president Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri Devi and their son Tejashvi Yadav on Saturday urged a court here to discharge them in a corruption case connected to purported irregularities in the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) between 2004 and 2014.

The three made the submissions before Special Judge Vishal Gogne, claiming that the CBI’s case was based on “pick and choose” and the allegations against them were “false”. They said the central probe agency lacked evidence to prosecute them in the case.

The accused made the submission through senior advocate Maninder Singh during the arguments on the framing of charges in the case. They have been charge-sheeted for various offences, including criminal conspiracy, cheating and corruption, that carry a maximum jail term of seven years.

The hearing in the case will resume on April 21.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
