Fodder Scam: Special CBI Court to Sentence Lalu Prasad Yadav Today

Ranchi, Jan 4: The Ranchi Special CBI court will today pronounce the quantum of sentence against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and others in connection with the fodder scam. The court deferred the fodder scam sentencing till Thursday, January 4, in wake of the demise of advocate Vindeshwari Parsad. While deferring the sentence, the Ranchi special court found RJD leaders Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, Tejashwi Yadav and Manoj Jha guilty of contempt of court and summoned them on January 23.

Describing the court summon as “shocking”, RJD national spokesperson Manoj Jha said that he never spoke anything against the judiciary. “It is shocking because none of us uttered a single word against the judicial process or the judgment.”
