Today several reports suggested that BJP MLA Rajesh Mishra’s daughter, Sakshi Mishra, and her husband were kidnapped at gunpoint outside Allahabad court this morning. However, it was later known that these were two separate incidents.
Sakshi Mishra had married a Dalit man named Ajitesh Kumar alias Abhi. Videos posted by Sakshi had gone viral a few days ago. She claimed that the couple were facing threat to their lives from her father and his men. She had demanded security for herself and her husband. She had even filed a petition in the Allahabad High Court seeking the same.
Rajesh Mishra has however denied allegations of threatening her. He did have objections to her marriage but said that she has the right to make her decisions. Meanwhile, the priest of the temple where Sakshi was supposedly married said that no such marriage had taken place.
