Tejashwi's sister and second eldest daughter of Lalu Prasad, is currently living with her husband and children in Singapore. When Lalu Prasad was suffering from severe infection in both the kidneys, Rohini decided to donate her kidney.
The doctors in Singapore conducted the health check-up of both donor and recipient, and agreed to the transplant. The doctors observed no complication as the donor and the recipient were from one family.
Lalu Prasad, who was serving a jail term in Hotwar jail, Ranchi, in the fodder scam, was suffering from severe infection in both the kidneys. He was admitted in the Ranchi Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, where Dr. Vidyapati was the first who suggested him to undergo the kidney transplant. Later, he was also admitted in AIIMS, Delhi, as well.
