Tej Pratap filed for divorce from his wife Aishwarya Rai, daughter of senior RJD leader Chandrika Rai at the Patna High Court on Friday.
Tej Pratap Yadav's had married with Aishwarya Rai daughter of RJD MLA Chandrika Rai on May 12 in Patna.
Questioning the state government in the wake of the incident, the RJD leader said, "When MLAs and ministers are not safe here, how can commoners be safe?"
Tej Pratap said the prayers were being offered for the welfare of Bihar and its natives, and also for his father, Lalu Prasad.
