RANCHI: Lalu Yadav, the president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and former Chief Minister of Bihar, has filed an application with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Ranchi to get his passport renewed since he has to travel abroad for a kidney transplant.

Meanwhile, the application to renew the passport has been filed in court. The court will be notified that the passport has been renewed "Yadav's lawyer, Prabhat Kumar, reportedly said.
"When a date for an appointment is set, a new plea will be entered in each of the five cases in which he has been convicted, requesting permission to travel abroad. On May 31, the application was submitted. The date for the next hearing has been set on June 10 "he said.
