Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of former Bihar chief ministers Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, is all set to exchange rings with Aishwarya Rai, the granddaughter of ex-Bihar CM Daroga Rai and daughter of senior RJD leader and MLA Chandrika Rai later this month.

An RJD source said an engagement ceremony is set to take place on April 18 at a city hotel, and the wedding is likely next month.

The topic of the wedding of Lalu's sons — Tej Partap and younger brother Tejashwi — was in the news after their mother Rabri Devi had controversially remarked that she did not want a "mall-going" daughter-in-law for her sons. Earlier, a WhatsApp number released by then deputy CM Tejashwi, to receive road-related complaints, had instead been flooded with marriage proposals.

All of Lalu and Rabri's seven daughters are married.

A source said Lalu, who is serving a sentence in the fodder scam and is currently in Delhi for medical treatment, could attend the ceremony if the court permits.
