The former Bihar Chief Minister is facing trial in three fodder scam cases related to fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 49 crore from Doranda (Ranchi), Rs 33.60 crore from Chaibasa and Rs 95 lakh from Deoghar treasuries.
He is appearing regularly in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) courts in different fodder scam cases.
Lalu Prasad had already been convicted in a fodder scam case and he was awarded five years’ sentence in October 2013. He is currently on bail.
He is accused in four cases of multi million Animal Husbandry Department (AHD) scam which is popularly known as the fodder scam. The Supreme Court had set aside the Jharkhand High Court and asked to face trail in all cases separately.
