The RJD today said senior BJP leader Sushil Modi is suspected by people of having laundered his black money through his brother's firm and demanded a probe into the mattwer.
"There is a perception among the people that Sushil Modi has converted his black money into white through his brother's company which flourished with the rise of Sushil Modi's career graph," RJD's national spokesman Manoj Jha told reporters here.
Jha, accompanied by senior party leader Jagdanand Singh and state unit chief Ramchandra Purbey, demanded an enquiry into the matter.
"Only a fair investigation into the matter can unravel the truth as to whether Sushil Modi helped his brother's company or routed his black money through his brother's company," he said.
With regard to the allegations levelled against Lalu Prasad's family by Sushil Modi, he said all information were in public domain and anyone could access them from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
Sushil Modi rubbished the allegations and said he was neither a partner nor a director in any business firm or contract.
"I was a full time worker for ABVP & now doing full time politics. Neither partner nor Dir in any business or contract," Sushil Modi said in a series of tweets in response to the allegations levelled by the RJD.
Sushil Modi said he was not going to be "black-mailed" by convict Lalu Prasad and would continue to expose him.
Instead, Lalu Prasad should explain as to how did he become the owner of assets and company worth Rs 1,000 crore without any business or contract, he said.
