Fodder scam: Lalu Yadav playing badminton after getting bail, CBI’s tells SC

The CBI on Friday told the apex court that Lalu Yadav was playing badminton after getting bail in fodder scam.

Additional Solicitor General SV Raju representing CBI told the apex court that Yadav was recently seen playing badminton.

Sibal told a bench headed by Justice AS Bopanna that Yadav has served 42 months in jail and he has a kidney ailment and now they want to put him back.

To this, ASG Raju replied, “He is playing badminton. Bail has been granted on erroneous assumption considering that sentences are concurrent and not consecutive. I will demonstrate High Court order (granting bail) is bad in toto.”

The CBI had filed a petition in top court and challenged the Jharkhand High Court’s order granting bail to 74-year-old Yadav in the case.

The former Bihar Chief Minister is currently out on bail due to ill health after his conviction in various fodder scam cases.

Yadav has been convicted in five fodder scam cases pertaining to the fraudulent withdrawal of money from Doranda, Deoghar, Dumka and Chaibasa treasuries in Jharkhand.
