A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Ranchi found former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav guilty in the fourth Dumka treasury fodder scam. However, Jagannath Mishra, another former CM of Bihar, along with five others was given clean chit. The recent judgment of the CBI court has come as a big blow to Lalu Prasad, who is already serving a 13-year prison sentence in Birsa Munda Jail in the capital city of Jharkhand. Dumka treasury scam, the fourth case in the Rs 900-crore fodder scam, involves embezzlement of Rs 3.5 crore from the mentioned treasury. During the court proceedings, Lalu Prasad Yadav was not present as he is currently undergoing treatment in Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi. The 69-year-old was admitted to the hospital on March 17 after he complained of chest pain. The doctors have conducted an ECG and other tests and his condition is said to be stable now.
