Laloo ill in Beur jail, advised complete bed rest

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Laloo Prasad Yadav, lodged in Beur jail in Patna, who is to be produced before the CBI court on December 6, has taken ill and been advised complete bed rest.

Patna civil surgeon Dr A K Mishra, who examined Yadav along with some other senior doctors late on Monday evening within the jail premises, said he had complained of cold and cough.

On being examined he was found to have fever and his blood pressure had also shot up, Mishra said on Tuesday.

A team of specialists led by Dr Gauri Prasad Singh, Head of Department of Medicine of the Patna Medical College Hospital, examined the RJD chief again on Tuesday morning.

However, Yadav would not like to be shifted to a hospital and prefers to stay in the jail, sources close to him said.

Yadav was brought to Patna from Ranchi by a state plane on Monday in connection with the disproportionate assets case, an offshoot of the fodder scam on December 6.

He was remanded to judicial custody on November 26 by CBI judge H C Mishra in Ranchi in connection with a conspiracy angle case of the fodder scam.
