Lalu Prasad Yadav complains of health issues, taken to hospital in Ranchi

Rachi, Mar 17 Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav was on Saturday taken to the RIMS hospital in Ranchi after he complained of health problems. Lalu is serving his jail term after he was convicted in the fodder scam case.

Meanwhile, a special CBI court in Ranchi which was set to convey the verdict in the fourth case identified with multi-million fodder scam including former Lalu and several others on Saturday, has reserved the request till Monday.

The court had on Friday postponed the judgement in view of the Lalu's counsel filing a petition under 319 CrPC asking the then three authorities from the Accountant General (in the 1990s) be made a party to the case.

Former Bihar Chief Minister and several others are blamed in the fourth fodder scam connected case identifying with false withdrawals of Rs 3.13 crore from December 1995 to January 1996 from the Dumka Treasury.

Other than Lalu, another previous CM Jagannath Mishra and 30 others are blamed for this situation. The multi-million-rupee feed trick surfaced in the 1990s when Lalu Yadav was Chief Minister of undivided Bihar.

Lalu was convicted in the first fodder scam case in 2013 and awarded five years in prison. He was then indicted in the second case on December 23, 2017, and granted three-and-half years' imprisonment on January 6.
