Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Lalu Prasad, last week got engaged with RJD leader Chandrika Rai's daughter Aishwarya Rai.

Mr Sinha said he hoped the former Bihar Chief Minister got bail sooner than later.

He recently met Lalu Prasad Yadav's wife and former Chief Minister Rabri Devi and his younger son Tejashwi Yadav.

Earlier, he met Lalu Prasad in a Ranchi hospital where the latter had been shifted from jail last month and said the RJD supremo was a "victim of conspiracy of circumstances".
