12. Shilpi-Gautam murder case (1999):
Bihar witnessed another high profile sex scandal in 1999 that related to Sadhu Yadav, the brother-in-law of Lalu Prasad Yadav. The scandal involved the murder of a girl Shilpi Jain and her friend Gautam. Both Shilpi and Gautam were friends of Sadhu Yadav. Their dead bodies were found inside a car in semi-nude condition.
The CBI in its final report had submitted that the lovers committed suicide by consuming poison. This was contrary to the media reports that claimed she was raped and when Gautam came to rescue her, the lovers were made to consume the poison by physical force.
The public outcry once again forced the judiciary to order the CBI to submit its diary afresh although nothing concrete could be established against high and mighty ones.
