Ranchi: Amidst allegations of jailed RJD president Lalu Prasad talking to his political associates over phone in violation of jail manual, authorities inspected his ward on Tuesday, but said they did not find anything objectionable.

The search was carried out by a joint team of the Birsa Munda prison officials and the Ranchi District Police. Prasad has been sentenced in four fodder scam cases by different special CBI courts in Ranchi and is in prison from December, 2017.

However, the convicted RJD leader is admitted in the paying ward of the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences for various ailments. “The jail authorities and we (district police) carried out the inspection on Tuesday but found nothing objectionable there,” Deputy Superintend of Police (Sadar) said.
