Former Bihar chief minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav was rushed to Patna's Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) after he complained of uneasiness, breathing trouble and dizziness.
He was discharged following a complete checkup in a few hours.

Lalu, who will turn 70 next month, suffers from over a dozen ailments including hypertension, diabetes, and heart and kidney troubles, and takes around 20 medications on a daily basis.

"His vital parameters were fluctuating and he complained of giddiness because of which he was admitted to the hospital. He was examined by specialists and is stable as of now," Lalu's family doctor SK Sinha said.

Sinha said Lalu will leave for Asian Heart Institute Mumbai, where he had underwent a bypass surgery a few years ago, for consultation and treatment on Tuesday. "After that, he will head to Bengaluru for his kidney ailment and later to Delhi for some other treatment," he added.

Lalu is presently serving sentence in three fodder scam related cases and was behind the bars since December 23, 2017. On March 29, he was hospitalised in Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi, after his health deteriorated and was later referred to AIIMS, New Delhi, for his treatment.

Lalu's family members including wife and former CM Rabri Devi had alleged that the government was hatching a conspiracy to kill Lalu by not providing him proper treatment during his incarceration and had thus sought bail for getting him better medical care.

On May 11, the Jharkhand High Court had granted a six-week provisional bail to Lalu for his treatment at specialised institutes, though his counsel's had sought a 12-week relief.
