Fodder scam: CBI court to decide Lalu Yadav's fate today

A special CBI court in Ranchi will on Saturday decide the fate of two former Chief Ministers of Bihar - Lalu Prasad Yadav and Jagannath Mishra - in a case of fodder scam.

Lalu, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief, reached Ranchi on Friday evening, along with his son Tejashwi Yadav to hear the verdict in the case which relates to embezzling of over Rs. 85 lakh from the Deoghar Treasury between 1991 and



1994.

The RJD chief has already been convicted in another fodder scam case that cost him his Lok Sabha seat and disqualified him from contesting elections.

Speaking to reporters, he said that he was innocent and that he had "full faith in judiciary".

"I am not worried. I am calm and have full faith in judiciary. My innocence will be proved," Lalu told the media.
