PATNA: RJD chief
Lalu Prasad, who is on a six-week provisional bail granted by the Jharkhand high court on medical grounds, was rushed to the
Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) here on Saturday after he complained of vertigo, body ache, breathing problems and uneasiness.
On Tuesday,
Lalu is likely to visit a Mumbai hospital, where he had undergone a bypass surgery in August 2014.
“Lalu ji had fallen at home. We immediately took him to IGIMS where different tests were conducted on him. The results of these tests are awaited. The IGIMS doctors have advised him to continue with the medicines prescribed at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi,” RJD MLA and Lalu’s close aide Bhola Yadav said.
He said Lalu is following the diet chart prescribed by the doctors at All India Institute of Medical Sciences-New Delhi. Lalu, who is serving sentences in three fodder scam cases in a Ranchi jail, was admitted to
AIIMS-New Delhi on March 29 for specialised treatment. He was later declared fit by the premier hospital and referred back to RIMS on April 30.
“Lalu ji visited the IGIMS following complaints of vertigo. He also complained of breathing problems, uneasiness and body ache. He has thoroughly been examined by our specialists. His records show that he suffers from a number of ailments like diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney problems. For the time being, we have advised him to keep taking the medicines prescribed at RIMS. We will go for his further treatment after receiving the reports of the tests conducted on Saturday,” IGIMS medical superintendent Dr Manish Mandal said.
According to IGIMS sources, Lalu’s blood sugar level was fluctuating from 80 to 300, which could be a cause why he complained of vertigo.
