Sakshi Misra, the daughter of Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Pappu Bhartaul has released two videos claiming that her life is under threat and she fears honour killing at the hands of her father and brother who have allegedly send goons after Sakshi as she married a Dalit Lover.
Sakshi uploaded two video on social media informing about her wedding to Ajitesh Kumar
In the first video, Sakshi and Ajitesh can be seen saying, “I am Sakshi and this is my husband Abhi. We are frustrated after running from one place to another. Now, I want to request the SSP to provide us security.” In the same video, Kumar says: “We were staying in a hotel where some people, who wanted to kill us, arrived. But luckily we had managed to escape from there. The only reason they want to kill us is because I am a Dalit.”

As quoted by a leading daily, the SSP said that he was aware of the viral video, but nobody has approached him with a formal complaint. DIG RK Pandey said he had come to know of the video messages and had asked the SSP to extend security to the couple. The DIG, however, said the police didn’t know where to give her security as she had not disclosed her location. No FIR has been lodged in the case so far.
