Expose Files by Hemant Yadav brings you a deep investigative breakdown of India’s most controversial cases, political scandals, and hidden power games. In this episode, we open the classified chapters of the Fodder Scam, The Fodder Scam — one of India’s biggest corruption scandals — remains a defining chapter in Bihar’s political and administrative history. This documentary traces the entire journey of the scam from its early origins in the 1970s to the explosive revelations of the 1990s, and its far-reaching impact that continues to shape Bihar’s politics even today. The story begins with unusual patterns in government expenditure, ignored audit objections, and a growing nexus between officials, suppliers, and political leaders. As vigilance reports were suppressed and files disappeared, the scam grew unchecked for years. The turning point came with the determined investigation led by IAS officers like Amit Khare and V.S. Dubey, whose raids exposed fake bills, forged seals, illegal withdrawals, and a massive corruption network involving senior bureaucrats and politicians. The documentary also follows the dramatic political fallout — from the CBI’s chargesheet, Lalu Prasad Yadav’s resignation as Chief Minister, formation of the RJD, and several high-profile arrests. With over 50 cases, hundreds of accused, and decades of courtroom battles, the fodder scam became a symbol of systemic corruption and a test case for accountability in Indian democracy. We also examine how these events shaped Bihar’s political landscape, influenced governance models, redefined public perceptions of leadership, and continue to echo in present-day elections and narratives around corruption, misuse of funds, and institutional integrity. This is not just a scam story — it is a story of power, resistance, investigation, and the long fight for justice.
