Prateek Yadav's Wife Aparna Arrives In Lucknow Following Husband's Death, Devastated BJP Leader Spotted At Airport - Video Surfaces

Lucknow: BJP leader and State Women's Commission Vice Chairperson Aparna Yadav arrived in Lucknow on May 13, following the demise of her husband, Prateek Yadav. Yadav, son of veteran politician Mulayam Singh Yadav and stepbrother of Akhilesh Yadav, died in Lucknow at the age of 38.

Aparna Bisht Yadav, his wife, is a BJP member and is currently the vice chairperson of the State Women's Commission. Prateek was the son of Mulayam Singh Yadav and his second wife, Sadhna Gupta.

Prateek, a fitness enthusiast, was reportedly declared brought dead at the Lucknow civil hospital. His stepbrother, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, was among those who expressed their shock. "The demise of Shri Pratik Yadav Ji is extremely heartbreaking! May God grant peace to the departed soul. Humble tribute!" the Samajwadi Party said in a brief post on X.

How was Prateek's relationship with his wife, Aparna?

Earlier this year, in January, Prateek Yadav claimed that he had decided to divorce his wife, Aparna Yadav and accused her of ruining his family. In a now-deleted post shared on his Instagram handle, he had described Aparna Yadav as 'selfish' and alleged that she had damaged his family relationships.

The post also claimed that he wanted to divorce her at the earliest, as he said that Aparna was only interested in becoming famous and influential. Moreover, the post also stated that his mental health was in a very bad condition and that she was unconcerned. However, on January 28, he reportedly announced reconciliation with his wife.

After the incident, his social media posts showed happy memories with his wife. In February, he posted a family picture, and in March, the couple visited Iceland for a family vacation. The couple married in 2011 after an eight-year relationship.

Aparna Yadav had joined the BJP in 2022 and has since been active in political and social campaigns. She is the Vice-President of Uttar Pradesh State Women's Commission. In 2017, she had also contested the Lucknow Cantt Assembly seat on a Samajwadi Party ticket but was defeated by BJP candidate Rita Bahuguna Joshi.
