PATNA, DECEMBER 15: The Income-Tax department has served notices on RJD supremo Laloo Prasad Yadav and Chief Minister Rabri Devi asking for the details of the expenses incurred during the wedding of their daughter Misa Bharati reported to be the millennium's last mega-marriage.

I-T sources told PTI that the department also issued the notice to the samdhi

of Laloo-- a bank employee, Ram Babu Pathik-- seeking the details of expenditure he incurred on the wedding of his son Shailesh Kumar (a computer engineer) with Misa.

The Income Tax department slapped statutory notice under Section 133 A(5) of the I-T Act barely four days after the wedding. They have been asked to furnish the details of expenditure within ten days or face legal action including attachment of property.
