- HT Correspond­ent letters@htlive.com

LUCKNOW: Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kaushal Kishore’s son, Ayush, on Tuesday shared a video on social media in which he accuses a woman, who claims to be his wife, of honey-trapping him and then forcing him to go against his family and provide money to her.

In the video, Ayush also accused the woman and her brother Adarsh of opening fire on him to kill him when he refused to heed to her demands.

On March 2, Ayush was injured after allegedly being shot at his house near Chatta Mill in Lucknow’s Madiaon area and the woman’s brother Adarsh was arrested by police.

The police had registered an FIR against the Ayush and Adarsh under IPC sections 420 (fraud), 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 505 (1)(b) (misleading police through fake informatio­n).

Ayush has been missing since then after being treated at trauma centre of King George Medical University here.

Adarsh confessed that he fired gunshots, but it was Ayush who asked him to do it. According to Adarsh’s statement, Ayush wanted to frame 2-3 people with whom he had enmity, following which he scripted the story of the attack on himself.

Later, the woman in question interacted with media persons and accused Ayush, his father, who is an MP from Lucknow’s Mohanlalga­nj constituen­cy, his mother Jay Devi, who is a BJP MLA from Lucknow’s Malihabad, and other family members of hatching a conspiracy to defame her and frame her in a fake case.

She apprehende­d a threat to her life and demanded security as well as an independen­t probe into the matter. She also visited Madiaon police station to register an FIR against Ayush and his family members but it was not registered till last reports came in.

Ayush’s mother Jay Devi also gave a statement to media persons accusing the woman of honey trapping her son.

Talking to media persons, the MP said police were investigat­ing the matter and he didn’t want any innocent person to get framed in the case. He said he was cooperatin­g in the investigat­ion
