Lalu's daughter-in-law accuses Misa Bharati of creating marital rift

Tej Pratap Yadav's estranged wife Aishwarya Roy on Sunday blamed her eldest sister-in-law Misa Bharti for creating a marital rift. Roy had tied the knot with Tej Pratap in May last year and had maintained a silence even after her husband went to court seeking divorce six months later.

Patna (Bihar):RJD supremo Lalu Prasad's estranged daughter-in-law Aishwarya Roy on Sunday blamed her eldest sister-in-law Misa Bharti for creating a rift between her (Roy) and Tej Pratap Yadav and driving a wedge between both the brothers (Tej Pratap and Tejaswi).

A drama unfolded at the 10, Circular Road residence of former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi, where Roy spoke to the media for the first time in the presence of her parents who rushed to the spot upon receiving her distress call.

"I wanted my relationship (with Tej Pratap) to work. Hence, I had been staying here even after my husband filed a divorce petition. Though it is pending, my in-laws have started treating me as if we are already divorced," Roy said.

Roy's father Chandrika Roy a several-term MLA currently belonging to the RJD was seen having heated exchanges with the security personnel, who were refusing him entry into the inner quarters.

"They are neither meeting us nor picking up the phone. I would have never agreed (for her daughter's marriage with Tej Pratap) had I known things would come to this shameful level," he said.

Roy had tied the knot with Tej Pratap in May last year and had maintained a silence even after her husband went to court seeking divorce six months later.
