A senior Bihar minister, who is in the eye of a storm after being caught on camera seeking favour for a jail inmate charged with corruption, today pleaded innocence, saying he had merely sought proper treatment for the physically-challenged man on "humanitarian grounds". | |
| CM Nitish Kumar also came to the aid of embattled Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ramashray Prasad Singh, dismissing the demand for his sacking. |
| |
| Singh was shown last night by a private TV channel asking State Home Secretary H C Sirohi over the phone to shift Bhanu Prakash, a physically-challenged employee of the Bihar Public Service Commission, from the Beur jail to a hospital. |
