Patna | 26 May 2025 — The strained relationship between Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, and his estranged wife Anushka Yadav has once again stirred political and emotional storm within Bihar’s first family. The saga, which began with a high-profile wedding in 2018 and quickly turned sour, has now taken a sensational twist involving accusations of black magic, emotional manipulation, and even a honeytrap conspiracy.
Sources close to the Yadav family have claimed that Tej Pratap has been under "external influence" for a long time, suggesting that the marriage may not have been based purely on mutual love. In a shocking revelation, some family members have privately alleged the use of tantra-mantra (occult practices) to control Tej Pratap’s behaviour and decisions.
The accusations didn’t stop there. Some voices from within the family have hinted at the possibility of a honeytrap — a term used to describe entrapment using romantic or sexual relations — to manipulate the political scion. While no legal case or official statement has been issued, these murmurs have intensified speculation about the motives behind the marriage and its dramatic fallout.
Anushka Yadav, a professionally qualified woman from a reputed family, has maintained a dignified silence throughout most of the public drama. However, she had earlier cited emotional and mental harassment as key reasons behind seeking legal separation. The case remains pending in the family court.
Meanwhile, Tej Pratap has frequently posted cryptic messages on social media, often invoking spiritual and mythological references, adding to the public confusion over his state of mind.
Political observers believe this episode could have far-reaching implications for the Yadav family image, especially with the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections approaching. While Lalu Prasad Yadav has not publicly commented on the matter, insiders say he is deeply distressed by the developments.
As Bihar watches with bated breath, the question remains: Was it love, manipulation, or something more sinister that broke apart the once-celebrated union of Tej Pratap and Anushka?
