An advanced life support ambulance under the 108 service, which was seen parked outside Bihar Health Minister Tej Pratap's 10, Circular Road home - the official residence of his mother, former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi - till last week, is gone.

The health department had sanctioned the ambulance to the minister, though, according to rules, only the chief minister and governor are entitled to it. Pratap had said the ambulance had been allotted to him to serve poor visitors, who might need medical help.

But the Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that the minister was misusing his powers. Those in the know say the minister had asked the ambulance staff to take the vehicle away.
