Fodder scam Judge says 'got phone calls from Lalu's men'

The judge also said he will follow only law

Ranchi: A special court on Thursday deferred the sentencing of Lalu Prasad in a fodder scam case.  On Friday, it is likely to decide whether to pronounce the quantum of punishment over video conference or in court. Deferring the sentencing for the second day in a row, CBI judge Shiv Pal Singh said he would decide tomorrow whether the sentence would be given over video conference or in the court. To this, Prasad said he was for personal appearance and assured that there would be no slogans raised in the courtroom by his supporters.

Fifteen others who were convicted in the scam and were to be sentenced along with Prasad waited in the court, while the RJD chief was whisked away to Birsa Munda jail after this. The case pertains to fraudulent withdrawal of the money from the Deoghar treasury between 1991 and 1994. The court had convicted Prasad for offences of cheating with criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act. Yadav faces another three fodder scam cases for illegal withdrawal of Rs 3.97 crore from the Dumka Treasury, Rs 36 crore from the Chaibasa Treasury and Rs 184 crore from the Doranda treasury.
