The Fodder Scam was a corruption scandal that involved the embezzlement of about₹9.4 billion (equivalent to ₹34 billion or US$540 million in 2017) from the governmenttreasury of the eastern Indian state of Bihar.Among those implicated in the theft and arrested were then Chief Minister of Bihar,Lalu Prasad Yadav, as well as former Chief Minister, Jagannath Mishra.The scandal led to the end of Lalu's reign as Chief Minister.There is also allegation on Dr. Dineshwar Prasad Sharma of receiving 300 crore and 60 lakh Rupees respectively from S. N. Sinha. On 23rd December, 2017 Lalu Prasad Yadav was convicted by a special CBI court while Jagannath Misra was acquitted.
The theft spanned for many years, and allegedly involved numerous Bihar state's administrative and elected officials across multiple administrations of the Indian National Congress and the Janata Dal parties. The corruption scheme involved the fabrication of "vast herds of fictitious livestock" for which fodder, medicines andanimal husbandry equipment was supposedly procured.Although the scandal broke in 1996, the theft had been in progress, and increased in size, for over two decades.Besides the magnitude and duration of the theft, the scam was and continues to be covered in Indian media due to the extensive nexus between tenured bureaucrats, elected politicians and businesspeople that it revealed,and as an example of the mafia raj that has penetrated several state-run economic sectors in the country.
