Bihar politician Lalu Yadav should serve his prison sentence in an open jail where he can raise cattle and use his “good knowledge of fodder”, a judge suggested while pronouncing the punishment for the 16 convicted in the fodder scam on the weekend.
The suggestion came from CBI court judge Shiv Pal Singh after various convicts pleaded for leniency on grounds of health or old age. Lalu Yadav’s lawyer Chittaranjan Sinha argued that his three-and-a-half year jail sentence should be reduced on account of the 69-year-old politician’s health.
citing the lack of medical facilities at the Birsa Munda Central Jail in Jharkhand, the lawyer referred to the former Chief Minister’s open heart surgery and kidney problem and also suggested a fear of amputation if his diabetes was not under control.
