Lalu Prasad Granted Bail in 2011 Poll Code Violation Case in Siwan
RJD chief Lalu Prasad was granted bail by a Bihar court in a 2011 case alleging violation of the Model Code of Conduct during the Daraunda Assembly election campaign. He appeared after warrants were issued for his repeated absence, which his lawyer attributed to health issues. The case involved the late RJD candidate Parmeshwar Singh. Following the bail, Prasad met with supporters and visited the family of Osama Sahab, an RJD MLA and son of former politician Mohd Shahabuddin.
