'12-YR LOVE STORY' BRINGS 6-YR BANISHMENT

In a dramatic turn of events, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav expelled his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from both the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Yadav family for six years, citing his “irresponsible behaviour” and deviation from party and family values.

Tej Pratap had Saturday evening announced on social media that he was in a relationship for 12 years with a woman, despite being married and his divorce petition still pending before a family court here. He, however, deleted the post a few hours later, claiming on X that his Facebook page was hacked.

Photos and a video of Tej Pratap with the woman named Anushka Yadav went viral on social media Saturday.

Sources close to the family suggest Lalu Prasad Yadav was taken aback by the nature and timing of the revelation, particularly as it came without consultation or prior family discussion.
