It is alleged that Sahani, now an RJD MLA, forged e-tickets and fake boarding passes to defraud Rajya Sabha of Rs 23.71 lakh as travel and dearness allowance reimbursement without undertaking any journey, they said.

The central agency registered the case on October 31, 2013 against Sahni and others on a reference by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).
