An alleged "close associate" of the Yadav family Mr. Katyal (49), railway employee and alleged beneficiary Hridayanand Chaudhary, two firms A K Infosystems Pvt. Ltd. and A B Exports Pvt. Ltd., through their common director Shariqul Bari, have also been named in the charge sheet.

Mr. Katyal was arrested in this case by the ED in November last year while former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav was summoned by the agency but is yet to depose.

However, his son and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has deposed once before the agency. He has been asked to appear again before it.
