Lalu Yadav was earlier this week sentenced to five years in prison and fined Rs 60 lakh by a special CBI court in connection with the fifth fodder scam case.
More troubles are likely for the ailing RJD chief Lalu Prasad, jailed in the Rs 950 crore fodder scam and now undergoing treatment in Rajendra Prasad Institute of Medical Science in Ranchi, as the Enforcement Directorate may confiscate assets created by those convicted in the scandal in line with the directions to CBI by a special court.
The former Bihar chief minister was earlier this week sentenced to five years in prison and fined Rs 60 lakh by a special CBI court in connection with the fifth fodder scam case involving embezzlement of over Rs 139 crore from Doranda treasury.
The special court directed CBI to provide a copy of the judgment, the FIR and the charge sheet of the fodder scam case to the ED for necessary action.
In the judgment delivered on February 21, CBI special judge Sudhanshu Kumar Shashi said "I find that the properties/assets created from the proceeds of the crime by the convicts and dead accused persons of this case could not be identified."
