Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav expressed sorrow over the passing of his step-brother, Prateek Yadav, and offered prayers for his soul’s peace. Prateek Yadav, the younger son of late Mulayam Singh Yadav and Sadhana Gupta, died in Lucknow at 38. The cause of death is still under investigation, with reports suggesting long-standing lung issues and treatment for a blood clot.
Prateek Yadav, an MBA graduate from the University of Leeds, maintained a low political profile despite his prominent family background. He focused on ventures in fitness and real estate, owning a gym called “The Fitness Planet” in Lucknow. Additionally, he engaged in social work through an NGO aiding homeless individuals.
Passionate about fitness, Prateek shared workout updates on social media and gained international recognition in 2012 for his body transformation. He credited his father for motivating his fitness journey. Prateek married Aparna Yadav in 2011, and the couple had a daughter. Earlier this year, Prateek posted personal grievances against Aparna on social media, although political parties refrained from public comments.
