Patna: Tej Pratap Yadav, son of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, is reported to have gone missing. As per details coming in, Tej Pratap went missing from a hotel in Bodh Gaya. It is reported that he was on his way to Bihar’s capital Patna from Ranchi in Jharkhand when the RJD MLA went missing. It may be recalled that Tej Pratap has filed for a divorce from his wife of six months, Aishwarya Rai.

Tej Pratap had gone to Jharkhand’s capital Ranchi to meet his father Lalu Prasad, who is serving a jail term there following his conviction in fodder scam cases but is currently housed in a hospital due to his ill health.

As per available inputs, Tej Pratap escaped from the hotel room by dodging his security guards. While the guards were posted on the main door of the hotel, the RJD leader managed to escape from another door. He is believed to have escaped in his car with his driver leaving behind all the security personnel.

The security men realised this at around 6 pm when the local RJD MLA came to check in on him. Sources said Tej Pratap may be headed to Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh as he is a devout of Lord Krishna.

After meeting his father at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences in Ranchi on Saturday, Tej Pratap had reiterated that he would not budge from his stand of seeking to end his six-month-old marriage with Aishwarya Rai. Tej Pratap said he is seeking divorce over compatibility issues and that he cannot live a "stifled life".

Aishwarya Rai is the daughter of RJD leader Chandrika Rai and the two had got married on May 12 this year. Rai is the grandfdaughter of former Bihar chief minister Daroga Rai.

"I stand by my decision. A person can't live a stifled life (ghut ghut kar)," Tej Pratap, Lalu’s elder son, had told the media. "We will discuss with our family members about it. But I remain firm on my decision," he had added.

The court hearing on the divorce mater would begin on November 29 and Tej Pratap has said that he will disclose "whatever I have to say" in courtroom.

Later in Bodh Gaya, Tej Pratap had said, "I had told my parents that I did not wish to marry at this moment. But nobody listened to me. Ours was a mismatch. I am a simple man with simple habits while she is a modern woman, educated in Delhi and used to life in a metropolis."

The RJD leader had also stated that he had not been on talking terms with his wife Rai for the past couple of months.
