“Application (for divorce) under Hindu Marriage Act was filed through me on behalf of Tej Pratap. I can’t say anything else at this moment.”

Tej Pratap had married Rai in a grand ceremony earlier this year on 2 May.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, then governor Satya Pal Malik and Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan had attended the wedding, along with Lalu Yadav, who was out on parole to attend the ceremony.
