Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad on Monday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with the central agency's money laundering probe into the alleged land-for-jobs scam, officials said.

Accompanied by his daughter Misa Bharti, reached the ED office around 11.05 am. He appeared before the central agency a day after JD(U) president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ditched the ‘Mahagathbandhan'.

Talking to reporters, Bharti said, "Whenever any agency calls our family members for questioning, we go there, cooperate with them and answer all their queries. Because of his health condition, it is difficult for him (Prasad) to move on his own. Someone has to accompany him whenever he goes somewhere. The questioning is still on."
