This came hours after ED filed a second charge-sheet against Lalu’s daughter Misa Bharti and her husband in a corruption case. Lalu has been convicted in the Deoghar Treasury case. Lalu could have got bail if he is sentenced to less than three years in prison.
He is an accused in four other cases in the fodder scam. The 1997 fodder scam case had virtually brought down his political career. Finally, Lalu is convicted 20 years after the biggest scam in Bihar’s history had first surfaced in 1997
