RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav suffered a major setback on Monday as the Supreme Court ruled that the former Bihar CM would stand trial for conspiracy charges in the fodder scam case.
New Delhi: A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court on Monday dealt a big blow to RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav as it revived criminal conspiracy charges against him along with others, including former Bihar chief minister Jagannath Mishra and ex-top bureaucrat Sajal Chakraborty, in the Rs 900 crore fodder scam case.
This fodder scam came to light in 1996. In September 2013, a special CBI court in Ranchi had convicted Lalu Yadav along with 44 others over an unlawful withdrawal of Rs 37.70 crore from Chaibasa Treasury in a bid to carry out embezzlement of funds in the name of medicines and fodder for the cattle.
