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.

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
