CBI’s petition contesting the bail granted to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav in the fodder scam case was heard before Justice AS Bopanna in Supreme Court on Friday (25 August).
Kapil Sibal, the legal representative for Lalu Yadav, highlighted that the former Bihar Chief Minister had undergone a kidney transplant, and Sibal insinuated that the CBI was aiming to reincarcerate him.
Responding to this, the Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju, representing Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) pointed out that Lalu Yadav was recently captured playing badminton.
The CBI’s lawyer criticized the decision to grant bail to Lalu Yadav, asserting that it was erroneous. He additionally pledged to demonstrate during the trial how the bail decision was flawed.
Meanwhile, RJD ally Janata Dalu (United) or JD(U)’s leader and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has accused the CBI of unnecessarily troubling Lalu Yadav by challenging his bail in Supreme Court.
