Soon after the conviction, the ailing 73-year-old politician was shifted to the Birsa Munda Central Jail in Ranchi and then he was admitted to the state-run Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS).

Expressing support for Yadav, Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi, ”This is an important aspect of BJP’s politics that the one who refuses to bow before them is harassed in every possible way.” ”Lalu Prasad Yadav ji is being attacked because of this politics. I hope he will definitely get justice,” the Congress general secretary said.
