Lalu Prasad Yadav convicted |
A special CBI court on December 23, 2017, found former Bihar chief minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav guilty of charges in one of the six cases lodged against the leader in the 1996 fodder scam. The court also found 14 others guilty in the case. On the other hand, the court acquitted six others, including former Bihar chief minister Jagannath Mishra. Lalu was taken into custody immediately after the verdict was announced by CBI judge Shivpal Singh. The quantum of punishment for Yadav and others convicted will be declared on January 3, 2018. RJD leader Raghuvansh Prasad Singh has said they will move the high court against the CBI court order convicting Lalu Prasad in a fodder scam case. Singh also questioned the judgement saying how did it come to be that Mishra got bail while Lalu was put in prison.
