Patna, June 21: Tej Pratap Yadav, the leader of the Jan Shakti Janata Dal (JJD) and former minister of Bihar, has accused his former associate, Akash Yadav, of plotting to murder him and his father, Lalu Yadav. He has filed a police complaint against Akash and several others in this regard.
According to the complaint registered at the Secretariat Police Station in Patna, Tej Pratap alleged that Akash Yadav, his sister Anushka Yadav, and other family members conspired to kill both him and his ailing father.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Tej Pratap confirmed that an FIR has been lodged against Akash Yadav, Anushka Yadav, and six others. He accused them of attempting to tarnish his public image and being involved in a conspiracy against his family.
During a press conference in Patna, Tej Pratap stated, “My father, Lalu Yadav, is unwell. They are plotting to kill both of us.” He also appealed to Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary to ensure the safety of him and his family.
The roots of this controversy lie in Tej Pratap’s previous public claims regarding his relationship with Anushka Yadav. At that time, he stated that he was in a relationship with her despite being married.
Following this incident, Lalu Yadav announced disciplinary action against his elder son Tej Pratap and distanced him from party activities. Subsequently, Tej Pratap claimed that social media posts related to this matter were made after his online accounts were hacked and described the situation as a misunderstanding.
Before Tej Pratap filed his complaint, Akash Yadav had approached the Patliputra Police Station with allegations against the JJD leader. According to Akash, Tej Pratap and his associates attempted to forcibly enter his home under the pretext of meeting family members.
He also claimed to have received a threatening call from a number in the United States, where the caller alleged to have links with a gangster in prison.
Tej Pratap has denied these allegations, labeling them as fabricated and politically motivated. He hinted at a larger political conspiracy behind the alleged threats.
