Ranchi, Feb 19: The Jharkhand High Court on Friday rejected bail plea of Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav in connection with the fodder scam case and asked him to file a fresh petition after two months.
The Dumka treasury embezzlement case is an offshoot of the multi-crore rupees fodder scam. The former Bihar chief minister has already acquired bail in three cases of over Rs 900 crore fodder scam and was expecting a favourable decision in the Dumka treasury case for release from jail. Now he has to wait for two more weeks to know verdict of the court on his bail plea.
