In the recent development in political sphere, former chief Minsiter of Bihar Lalu Prasad Yadav has been found guilty of illegal consumption of money kept for fodder. He has been convicted of illegal withdrawals of ₹ 139.35 crore from the Doranda treasury – by a special CBI court in Jharkhand’s Ranchi.
It was be noted that the famous leader from Bihar Lalu Yadav has now been convicted in all five cases in which he was named as a conspirator. He was also present in the courtroom Tuesday morning as Judge CK Shashi read out verdict.

All cases relate to the swindling of government funds meant for cattle fodder. In jail since December 2017, the 73-year-old served most of his sentence at Jharkhand’s Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences. He was brought to Delhi in January last year after his health worsened.
