Ranchi: A special CBI court here on Saturday sentenced RJD chief Lalu Prasad to seven years in jail each in two cases pertaining to the fourth fodder scam case and fined him Rs 60 lakh.
It was not immediately clear whether the two sentences would run concurrently or consecutively. Lalu Prasad's lawyer said that a clarity on this would be available in the evening. CBI judge Shivpal Singh pronounced the sentence.
"Lalu Prasad has been awarded seven years imprisonment and slapped Rs 30 lakhs fine under the Indian Penal Code and another seven years under the Prevention of Corruption Act and a fine of Rs 30 lakhs (each)," the former Bihar Chief Minister's lawyer Prabhat Kumar told reporters.
