CBI court rejects Lalu Prasad Yadav's plea to quash fodder scam trial

Lalu said he has already been convicted and sentenced in one of the fodder scam cases

Ranchi: A CBI court on Tuesday rejected RJD chief Lalu Yadav plea to to quash the trial of three cases against him in connection with the multi-million rupee fodder scam.

The former Bihar chief minister said he has already been convicted and sentenced in one of the fodder scam cases. The other three cases are of similar nature so the trial should be quashed.

The CBI opposed the plea on the ground that crores of rupees have been siphoned off from the treasury and that the three cases against him differed from each other.
