RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, serving a jail term in fodder scam cases, left AIIMS on a wheelchair this afternoon after being discharged by the hospital, which said his condition had improved significantly, even as his party termed the move a "conspiracy to murder him".
The Rashtriya Janata Dal president had written to the AIIMS director, asking that his treatment be continued at the hospital till he recovered.
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 advice 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."
