RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has been convicted by the special CBI court in the fodder scam case, while former chief minister Jagannath Mishra has been acquitted. This judgment came hours after ED filed a charge-sheet against Lalu’s daughter Misa Bharti and her husband in a corruption case.
The quantum of punishment for RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav will be decided by the special CBI court on January 3. Lalu will be directly sent to jail from the court premises. Lalu has been convicted in the Deoghar Treasury case.
He is an accused in four other cases in the fodder scam. The 1997 fodder scam case had virtually brought down his political career. Finally, Lalu is convicted 20 years after the biggest scam in Bihar’s history had first surfaced in 1997.
