Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, who is already serving a sentence of 27.5 years of imprisonment, has now been sentenced to five years imprisonment by a special CBI court of Ranchi in the Rs 139.35 crore Doranda treasury scam, which is the fifth fodder scam case to emerge.
Earlier, the former chief minister of Bihar was found guilty in four cases connected to the Rs 950 crore fodder scam and is currently serving imprisonment in the case. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 60 lakh on him in the Doranda treasury scam.
The 75-year-old politician appeared in the court virtually. He is in judicial custody and is admitted to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) due to his poor health conditions.
Besides Lalu, the court had sentenced 74 others, while 24 were acquitted for want of evidence. An FIR was lodged in the Doranda police station in 1996, and then later the CBI took over the case for investigation.
