The Jharkhand High Court on Friday rejected for the second time in two months the bail plea of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad in the fodder scam cases.
Hearing Mr. Prasad’s interim bail plea on medical grounds, Justice Apresh Kumar Singh sought his medical reports from the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi, where he is currently admitted.
After being convicted in as many as four fodder scam cases, the RJD chief is lodged in Birsa Munda jail of Ranchi since December 23, 2017.
