“Honourable MLA Pappu Bhartaul Ji and Vicky Bhartaul Ji, please live and let us live in peace. I am married. I’m not wearing sindoor for fashion. I request you to take back your dogs (goons) or else face legal consequences,” she can be heard saying in the video.
She further requested other Bareilly MLAs and MPs not to help her father to find them.
In the video, she said that she and her husband are tired of running from her father’s goons. She asked her father and brother, not to trouble Ajitesh family.
She concluded the video by saying that if in the future, something happens to her, her husband or her in-laws, then her father and brother should be held responsible. She also asked her father to change his mindset.
The lawmaker denied her daughter’s allegation and claimed “a political conspiracy” behind it. He said that his daughter is an adult and can make her own decision. He also said that neither his family nor his party workers have threatened to kill anyone. He also clarified that he had objected to his daughter’s marriage, not for caste disparity but for the age difference and her husband’s low income.
