In the Doranda treasury case relating to the fodder scandal, former Union Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav was convicted to five years in prison.
In the ₹139 crore Doranda treasury corruption case, a Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Court in Ranchi last week convicted the former Bihar Chief Minister. Judge CK Shashi handed down the order.
The Court condemned Yadav to five years in prison and ordered him to pay a fine of Rs 60 lakh on Monday.
Yadav had already been convicted of illicit withdrawals of ₹37.7 crores and ₹33.13 crores from the Chaibasa treasury, ₹89.27 crores from the Deoghar treasury, and ₹3.76 crores from the Dumka treasury in four other fodder scam cases. Between 1991 and 1996, Yadav was the Chief Minister of Bihar, and the ₹950 crore scam occurred.
For his role in the fodder scam cases, he was sentenced to a total of 14 years in prison, but he has appealed all of his convictions. In October 2020, he was granted bail in the Chaibasa Treasury Scam case, and in February 2020, he was granted bail in the Deoghar Treasury Scam case. In the Dumka Treasury case, he was just granted bail.
