NewDelhi: Railway Minister Laloo Prasad today (May 5, 2005) rubbished as an attempt to "hide the truth" the interim report of Gujarat Directorate of Forensic Sciences that indicated no attack had taken place on him in a Vadodara hospital when he visited victims of a train accident there last month.

"The State Government is indulging in this misdeed to save itself. It is all baseless. This is an attempt to hide the truth," he said reacting to the report.

He maintained that an attack took place on him in the hospital because of which the windowpane of his car broke.

"Will the window pane break by throwing a pouch? The attack took place. The whole world saw it. Whatever I am saying is the truth," Laloo Prasad told 'Aaj Tak' TV news channel.
