New Delhi: The Supreme Court is likely to pronounce on Monday its verdict on the CBI plea opposing the dropping of charges against former Bihar chief minister and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav in connection with the infamous fodder scam case.
The Jharkhand High Court had earlier dropped the charges against the RJD chief after which the central probe agency moved Supreme Court challenging the ruling.
Meanwhile, the veteran politician is embroiled in a fresh political controversy after a TV channel on Saturday released an audio tape of an alleged conversation between him and jailed don-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin, wherein he was heard taking instructions from the later.
In view of the startling disclosure, the BJP-led Opposition has demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
However, the ruling grand alliance, comprising the Janata Dal-United (JD-U), RJD and the Congress in the state, has sought to distance itself from the row.
The audio clip was released by Republic TV on Saturday wherein the former don was heard saying that “your SP (Superintendent of Police) is of no use”.
Lalu was also heard taking instructions from him over riots.
