Filing Prasad's reply before the Jharkhand High Court, his counsel Devarshi Mandal said that his client has completed more than half of the jail term awarded by a CBI court in the case and he should get bail.

Prasad has been air-lifted to Delhi for better treatment at AIIMS after his health condition deteriorated.

Mandal said Prasad has requested an early hearing of his bail petition.
