Went to Singapore for routine checkup in May
It is worth noting that Lalu Yadav had gone to Singapore 2 months ago for a post-transplant routine medical checkup. He had received permission for foreign travel from a Delhi court.
Tejashwi Yadav had stated that after the kidney transplant, doctors had advised him to undergo routine check-ups every three months, but regular check-ups had not been possible for about a year. He also had an eye operation and continued to suffer from eye-related problems.
Lalu reached Singapore on May 30, where his daughter Rohini came to receive him at the airport.
Eye operation performed in Delhi 7 months ago
During an eye examination in December 2025, doctors found cataracts and retina-related problems in his eyes. Subsequently, his cataract and retina surgery was performed under the supervision of senior ophthalmologists at a private eye hospital in Delhi.
According to doctors, the operation was completely successful and his condition remained normal after the surgery. He was advised to rest for some time and have regular follow-ups.
