Fodder Scam: Lalu Yadav Gets Bail in Treasury Case

The court directed Lalu Yadav neither to leave the country without permission nor change his address and mobile number during the bail period.

Ranchi: The Jharkhand High Court on Saturday granted bail to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav in a multi-crore fodder scam case. The case is related to fraudulent withdrawal from Dumka Treasury.

The bail was allowed to Lalu Yadav by Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh.

The court directed Lalu Yadav neither to leave the country without permission nor change his address and mobile number during the bail period.

Lalu Yadav had acquired bail in three other cases of the fodder scam and was waiting for judgement in the instant case related to illegal withdrawal of Rs 3.13 crore from the Dumka treasury in 90s to come out of the jail.

The septuagenarian RJD supremo was airlifted to AIIMS New Delhi in January last in view of his bad health.
