“Lalu Prasad is having trouble breathing for the last two days. On Friday, he was found to be having pneumonia. Considering his age, we have decided to shift him to AIIMS Delhi on the advice of doctors for better treatment”, stated RIMS Director Dr. Kamaleshwar Prasad. He further revealed – “Lalu Prasad Yadav was slated to be shifted to the AIIMS today and that the authorities and his family were arranging an air ambulance for shifting him”.
