CBI opposes Lalu’s bail plea

New Delhi: The CBI Tuesday opposed in the Supreme Court RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav’s plea for bail, saying it will set “very wrong precedent” in cases involving “serious corruption in high offices”.
The CBI told a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi that Yadav is likely to get involved in political activities and misuse the bail ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
“It is, in the most humble and respectful submission of the investigating agency, a case where grant of bail would set a very wrong precedent in cases involving a serious corruption in high offices,” CBI said.
The CBI said that in any case Yadav has been in a hospital ward for over eight months and indulging in political activities. (PTI)
