Taking note of news reports, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday ordered a probe into allegations of government officials calling up a CBI special judge to seek favours for fodder scam convict and RJD chief Lalu Prasad.
On the basis of media reports about lobbying in favour of the fodder scam convict, orders have been issued to the Commissioner, Jhansi division, to carry out a probe and submit a report at the earliest, said a tweet issued on the official handle of the CM.
Reports in a section of the media have alleged that District Magistrate Mannan Akhtar and Sub-Divisional Magistrate Bhairpal Singh of Jalaun had called up CBI Special Judge Shivpal Singh to seek favours for the RJD chief in the fodder scam case. During the proceedings of the case in Ranchi on January 4, the CBI judge had also stated: “Laluji, we are getting a lot of references and calls for you” without naming the people who had called him up.
