The student got money on Tuesday and has thanked him in a message online, Yadav, the younger son of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Laloo Prasad, said.

"I have got many complaints like this on Facebook and I am personally looking into all of them," Yadav said.

"Being a young leader, I can very well understand a youth's ambitions and dreams," he concluded.

He also attached screenshots of his conversation with the student who was all praise for Yadav.

"Thanks sir. The amount has been credited into my account. It has happened only because of you. I feel proud to have a deputy chief minister like you," the student said in his message.
