On Thursday, Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi released his new book titled "Lalu Leela", documenting "benami" land deals allegedly involving the RJD national president and his family members.

Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad launched his book on the occasion of birth anniversary of socialist leader Jay Prakash Narayan, who had shaped the political careers of both Lalu Yadav and Sushil Modi, among others.

It is a compilation of documents distributed to mediapersons by Modi in the past one year on acquisitions of properties made allegedly by Lalu and his family.

The book describes Lalu's journey from a student leader of Patna University to the CM of Bihar.

Lalu-Leela claims Yadav family owns 141 plots, more than 30 residential properties and half a dozen commercial properties including a car showroom owned by Lalu's elder son Tej Pratap Yadav.
