The document summarizes the fodder scam corruption scandal in Bihar, India in the 1990s. It involved the embezzlement of 9.5 billion rupees from the state treasury. A whistleblower submitted a report in 1992 outlining the scam and implicating the chief minister, Laloo Prasad Yadav. After demands for a CBI investigation and a Supreme Court order, the CBI took over the case and uncovered further links between Yadav and the scam. Yadav was eventually arrested and charged, resigning as chief minister, though his wife then assumed the role, and he faced ongoing prosecution through multiple trials over the following years.
