Even as the former Bihar chief minister alleged a “political conspiracy” behind the move, the AIIMS has discharged RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, saying his condition has improved significantly.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal leader also wrote to the institute’s director, asking him to continue his treatment at the facility till he recovers fully, media reports said.

Supporters of Prasad created ruckus in the hospital premises protesting the AIIMS’ decision, with his party alleging that there is a conspiracy to “murder” their leader by “forcing him out” of the premier hospital even though he continues to suffer from various ailments, reported PTI.

During the ruckus, the supporters broke a glass door, abused the security guards and administration officials, hospital sources reportedly alleged.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi met Prasad at AIIMS on Monday and enquired about his health.

The RJD chief, who has been serving a jail term in connection with the fodder scam, was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here on March 29 for specialised treatment, the report said.

The AIIMS, in a statement, said, “Lalu Prasad was referred from Ranchi Medical College to AIIMS for management of his acute medical condition . He has improved significantly and as per advise of the medical board constituted for his treatment, he is being referred back to Ranchi Medical College for management of his chronic issues. He is currently stable and is fit to travel.”
