Lalu arrives in Ranchi after being discharged from AIIMS
RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Tuesday arrived in Ranchi after being discharged from the AIIMS in Delhi as his condition improved significantly. "He will now be taken to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences," said a police officer at the Ranchi railway station where Prasad alighted from the Rajdhani Express. He was admitted to AIIMS on March 29 for specialized treatment.
Prasad, however, alleged a "political conspiracy" behind his discharge
In an official statement on Monday, AIIMS said, "Lalu Prasad was referred from the Ranchi Medical College to AIIMS for management of his acute medical condition. He has improved significantly; as per the advice of the medical board constituted for his treatment, he is being referred back to the Ranchi." The institute would be held responsible if something untoward happened to him said Lalu.
Lalu has been convicted in four fodder scam cases
The RJD president, who has been serving a jail term in connection with a fodder scam, had boarded the train for Ranchi from Delhi on Monday. Lalu Prasad has been convicted in four fodder scam cases since 2013 - the latest being the Dumka treasury case, in which a special CBI court had sentenced him to 14 years in jail.
