Ranchi: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad on Friday pleaded before the Jharkhand high court for provisional bail on medical grounds. His advocate has appealed to the court, saying Lalu needs three more months for treatment of various illnesses, related to heart and kidney, in advanced medical centres.
Lalu, who has been convicted in four fodder scam cases to date, is currently undergoing treatment in AIIMS, Delhi, under judicial custody.
The RJD chief had filed a petition for provisional bail in all the three fodder scam cases in which special CBI courts have convicted him during the last four months.
Lalu’s lawyer Chitttranjan Sinha said, “We have appealed to the court, stating that Lalu has ulcers in his rectum which could turn fatal if infected.”
He said Lalu’s kidneys were 60% damaged, adding that his blood pressure and sugar levels were also not under control.
“We pointed out that AIIMS reports, too, have stated that Lalu’s blood pressure was fluctuating and his sugar level was also not under control. We argued that Lalu needed some time for getting his blood pressure treated at the Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai, where he had undergone heart surgery. He also needed treatment for his kidney at Medanta hospital,” Sinha said.
