Sakshi Misra, 23 daughter of Rajesh Misra, MLA from Bithari Chainpur in Bareilly district, Uttar Pradesh, uploaded a video on social media to inform about her wedding to Ajitesh Kumar, 29. In the video, Sakshi has also appealed to the MPs and MLAs of Bareilly not to help her father as she alleged that her father and others were out to kill her. In another video, she has spoken about the impending threat to her life from her father, brother and an associate, and urged the Bareilly senior superintendent of police to extend security to them. On the other hand, her father Rajesh Misra denied his daughter's allegations and said it is a political conspiracy against him. "My daughter is an adult; she can take her own decisions. I have not threatened to kill anyone. Neither my family members nor people who work with me have threatened to kill anyone. My family and I are busy with our work, our BJP membership drive," said the MLA.
