Lalu's daughter-in-law accuses Misa Bharati of creating

RJD supremo Lalu Prasad's estranged daughter-in-law Aishwarya Roy on Sunday blamed her eldest sister-in-law Misa Bharti for creating a rift between Roy and Tej Pratap Yadav and driving a wedge between Tejashwi Yadav and her husband.

A drama unfolded at the 10, Circular Road residence of former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi, where Roy spoke to the media for the first time in the presence of her parents who rushed to the spot upon receiving her distress call.

"I wanted my relationship (with Tej Pratap) to work. Hence, I had been staying here even after my husband filed a divorce petition. Though it is pending, my in-laws have started treating me as if we are already divorced," Roy said.

She was seated under a shed along with her parents in front of the outhouses situated inside the premises while speaking to reporters.

"For the past three months, I have been subjected to ill-treatment here. I was not given food, so every day my meals used to come from my residence.

"Since Saturday, however, I was being denied access even to the kitchen. A personal staff of my mother-in-law rudely told me that it has been locked and refused to hand over the keys to me," Roy said.

The estranged daughter-in-law of Rabri Devi said, when she began shooting the entire episode on her mobile phone, the staff tried to snatch it.

"I ran and he chased me until I came outside the inner quarters," said Roy, based on whose complaint, an official of the 'Mahila Helpline' rushed to the spot.

Pramila, the Helpline official, told reporters, "Let me first have a detailed conversation with the complainant. Based on that, we would decide the course of action to be taken into the matter."
Asked about their responses to the incident, Roy said, "My mother-in-law simply abdicated her responsibility while Misa Bharti, who has been staying here despite being married for long, went about creating mischief so that her writ runs large within the family."
"It is Misa Bharti who is trying to drive a wedge between the two brothers."
