Lalu Prasad is currently admitted at AIIMS, New Delhi undergoing treatment for multiple ailments.
Former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad will remain in jail as the Jharkhand High Court rejected his bail plea in the Dumka treasury case on Friday.
The court said since the RJD supremo has to serve two more months in jail to complete half of the tenure of his total sentence in the case, the bail plea is not granted and asked him to file a fresh application after two months.
Lalu has already acquired bail in three out of the four cases of the fodder scam in which he has been convicted and acceptance of his request in the case related to illegal withdrawal of Rs 3. 13 crore from the Dumka treasury could have helped him come out of the jail.

A 30-year-old police jawan from Gumla died on way to a hospital in Ranchi on Tuesday after sustaining severe injuries in an IED blast triggered by the outlawed CPI (Maoist) group at a dense jungle at Serengdag in Lohardaga district.
Police said said Duleshwar Paras, who was airlifted by an Indian Air Force chopper from the jungle in Lohardaga and brought to Ranchi for treatment, succumbed to his injuries after landing at the state helipad at Khelgaon, from where he was taken to Bhagwan Mahavir Medica Superspecialty Hospital by road. Doctors there declared him “brought dead”.
The martyr’s mortal remains have been sent to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) for post-mortem. His last rites will be performed with state honours at his native place in Gumla, police sources said.
Doctor s kin haven t received compensation
RANCHI: Nineteen doctors from the state lost their lives after they contracted Covid-19 while treating infected patients, but none of their families have received the Rs 50 lakh-compensation promised by the Centre under a special insurance scheme for the kin of healthcare workers who die in the line of duty during the pandemic.
TOI spoke to the family members of a few deceased doctors and found that they were also humiliated by health officials when approached for help.
Deeksha Jha, wife of Dr Shekhar Dutt Jha, who succumbed to the virus on August 24, said, “I have completed all the formalities and submitted the documents to the health department, but nothing has moved yet. I have two daughters aged eight and 11 and do not have any kind of support to run the family.”
Ranchi: Demand of masks, sanitizers and anti-bacterial sprays, which had skyrocketed after the pandemic hit the state in the last week of March, is no.
