The Central Bureau of Investigation has sought Bihar governor's permission to prosecute former chief ministers Laloo Prasad Yadav and Dr Jagannath Mishra in yet another fodder scam, sources in the investigating agency said on Tuesday.
The CBI approached Raj Bhavan a few days ago seeking sanction to prosecute former ministers C P Verma and Vidya Sagar Nishad, besides the two chief ministers.
The case relates to fraudulent withdrawals of over Rs 370 million from Chaibasa treasury by the Animal Husbandry Department using forged bills in 1992-93.
The investigating agency has also written to Lok Sabha Speaker G M C Balayogi seeking approval to prosecute Congress MP Rajo Singh.
Senior IAS officials K Arumugam, Mahesh Prasad and Sajal Chakravorty, the then deputy commissioner of Chaibasa, also figure in the list of 74 accused in the case.
