Suspended RJD MLA Raj Ballabh Yadav, who is currently facing charges of raping a 15-year-old schoolgirl, on Thursday met his party chief Lalu Prasad Yadav.
Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear the Bihar government's petition against the bail granted to him by the Patna High Court.
Emerging from the meeting at 10 Circular Road residence of former Chief Minister Rabri Devi where he met RJD president Lalu Prasad, Raj Ballabh Yadav told reporters it was a courtesy visit to extend greetings of Durga Puja.
There was no word from Lalu Prasad on the meeting. The office at Rabri Devi's house also maintained it was a usual courtesy visit.
Raj Ballabh Yadav, MLA from Nawada, said he has no complaint against the state government for going against his bail in the apex court.
"Government works according to a system. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has not gone into appeal... I do not have any grievance against the state government. Why you (media persons) are raising questions about the system," he said.
Replying to questions, Yadav said, "There is no serious charge against me. There is no FIR or statement of the victim under 164 CRPC against me."
The third term RJD MLA was suspended from the party in the wake of the rape allegation against him. The girl, a resident of Rahui in Nalanda, was raped allegedly at the MLA's house under Mufassil police station on 6 February.
He was arrested in the case but got bail from the Patna High Court on Friday last.
Shattered at his release on bail, the 15-year-old victim sent a frantic WhatsApp message to journalists and others hoping to reach Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. "He (Yadav) is out of jail... I am scared and afraid for my family. What will happen to them? I am already dead after what happened to me. I have nothing more to lose," she wrote.
The politician, the girl said, "can kill me and my family any time. Even the police are afraid of him."
Bihar government has moved the Supreme Court challenging the bail granted to Raj Ballabh Yadav.
The court has listed the matter for hearing on Friday.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Prasad Yadav told reporters that the government was doing its duty and it is up to the court to see if the accused MLA is guilty.
"Let us leave the matter to the court to decide," Tejaswi Yadav, who is also leader of RJD Legislature party in the state Assembly, said.
