| Fourth fodder scam case: Lalu Prasad convicted, Jagannath Mishra acquitted | | | Agencies
Lalu Prasad was today convicted by the special CBI court in the fourth fodder scam case relating to alleged withdrawal of Rs 3.13 crore from the Dumka treasury over two decades ago.
However, former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra found not guilty in the case. In total, 12 accused have been convicted, while five have been acquitted.
A fifth case relating to alleged fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 139 crore from the Doranda treasury in Ranchi is pending with the court.
Lalu Prasad was admitted to a hospital on Saturday for treatment after he complained of chest pain.
The court had postponed the judgement on Thursday in view of the Lalu Prasad's counsel filing a petition under 319 CrPC asking the then three officials of the Accountant General (in the 1990s) be made a party to the case.
Section 319 Cr PC is invoked when there is some strong and cogent evidence against the accused.
