Prateek Yadav, husband of BJP leader Aparna Yadav and son of late Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav, died after his heart and lungs suddenly stopped working due to massive blood clotting in the lungs, according to details from his autopsy report.

Prateek died after his health deteriorated during the early hours on Wednesday. He was rushed to the Civil Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. The postmortem was conducted at Lucknow's King George Medical University (KGMU), and the report lists cardiorespiratory collapse due to massive pulmonary thromboembolism as the cause of death, mentioning six "antemortem" (before death) injuries found on his body.

The body was subsequently sent for post-mortem. Prateek was known as a fitness enthusiast and owned a gym in Lucknow. Despite a strong political family background, he stayed away from politics. Prateek was the son of Mulayam Singh Yadav and his second wife, Sadhna Gupta. Holding an MBA from the University of Leeds in the UK, Prateek Yadav was a well-known real estate developer and fitness enthusiast.

However, his wife, Aparna, is an active member of the BJP. She joined politics in 2017 and contested from the Lucknow Cantonment Assembly seat on the Samajwadi Party ticket. However, she lost to BJP candidate Rita Bahuguna Joshi.

In 2022, she surprised the state by quitting SP to join the BJP. She currently serves as vice chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh State Commission for Women. Aparna was reportedly in Delhi and departed for Lucknow after she learned about the news of her husband's death.

When Prateek called Aparna 'family destoryer'

Prateek made headlines in January this year with his social media post, wherein she called Aparna "selfish" and a "family destroyer", adding that he will divorce her soon.

"I am going to divorce this selfish woman as soon as possible. She ruined my family ties. All she wants to do is become famous and influential," Prateek said in his post.

"Right now, I am in a very bad mental health condition, and she doesn’t bother. That’s because it’s only herself she bothers about. I have never seen such a bad soul, and I was unfortunate to get married to her," he added.
