CBI to interrogate Rabri tomorrow

Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi will be interrogated by the Central Bureau of Investigation sleuths in Patna tomorrow in connection with a disproportionate assets case filed against her husband and Rashtriya Janata Dal president Laloo Prasad Yadav.

CBI sources said today that the interrogation of Rabri Devi would begin at 1030 hours at her official residence. CBI Joint Director (East) U N Biswas, who has arrived in Patna, will however not be present at the chief minister's interrogation.

The sources said the chief minister had given the time for her interrogation in writing. Rabri Devi figured in the case after her husband told the CBI during his interrogation that he had taken a loan from his wife to construct a plush house in Patna.

Laloo Yadav told investigators that his wife runs a dairy farm. The CBI had filed the FIR in the case on August 19 last year and had carried out a search of the chief minister's residence within three days. The CBI also conducted simultaneous raids on the homes of the chief minister's three brothers.
