Special Public Prosecutor of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Ravi Shankar said that the court has acquitted 35 people while 89 others have been convicted in the Doranda treasury case of the fodder scam.
The Public Prosecutor said that among these 89 convicts, 53 have been awarded imprisonment of less than three years while a hearing on the quantum of sentencing on the remaining 36 would be held on September 1.
Ravi Shankar said that this was the longest case of the fodder scam in which more than 600 witnesses were produced before the court while documentary evidence in 50,000 pages was also submitted before the court.
He said that with the court announcing its judgement in the case on Monday, no other case is pending on the fodder scam in Jharkhand.
