New Delhi: Former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad on Thursday surrendered before a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court here to serve his sentence in a fooder scam case.
Earlier, the Jharkhand High Court has asked Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) President Lalu Prasad Yadav to surrender by August 30. The court rejected the bail extension plea moved by Yadav.
In his petition, the former Bihar Chief Minister had requested a three-month extension of his bail on medical grounds.
Hearing the prayer for extension of provisional bail for three months on grounds that the RJD leader needed to undergo treatment, Justice Apresh Kumar Singh asked Prasad to surrender before the CBI court and directed the state government to provide medical care whenever needed.
Appearing for Prasad, Abhishek Manu Singhvi prayed for extension of provisional bail for three months for treatment of anal abscess, kidney stone and enlarged prostate glands.
CBI counsel Rajiv Sinha objected to the prayer, saying the RJD leader has availed about 12 weeks for his treatment.
