The case is related to an FIR lodged on 16 August 2019, in which Mrityunjay Nath Pandey, a resident of Ashani village, had alleged that a deal was struck with Khesari Lal Yadav’s wife Chanda Devi for the sale of land for Rs 22 lakh 7 thousand. Under the deal, Khesari Lal gave a cheque of Rs 18 lakh, which bounced.
