RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav sentenced to 5 years in jail in Doranda fodder scam case

Former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav has been sentenced to five years in prison in the Doranda treasury case related to the fodder scam. He also has to pay a fine of Rs 60 lakh, the court pronounced on Monday.

A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court pronounced the quantum of sentence for those convicted in the case last week.

Reacting to the development, a representative from Lalu Prasad Yadav's legal team said, "We will appeal in the high court. As per our calculations, half the sentence has been completed."
