Laloo in judicial custody as bail lapses

By Our Staff Correspondent

PATNA, NOV. 28. The former Chief Minister and RJD president, Mr. Laloo Prasad Yadav, was remanded to judicial custody on the technical ground that his provisional bail in connection with the disproportionate assets case was not renewed even as it lapsed today.

The CBI designated court remanded Mr. Yadav to judicial custody soon after the latter surrendered with the lapse of the provisional bail granted to him by the Patna High Court.

The CBI Judge, Mr. S. K. Pathak, sent Mr. Yadav to the Patna Central Jail, Beur, with orders to the IG (Prisons) to make special security arrangements for him there.

The procedural wrangle cropped up as Mr. Justice S. K. Singh, who comprises the one-man bench of the Patna High Court, was out of Patna and could not take up hearing on the petition seeking extension of the provisional bail of Mr. Yadav yesterday.
