Tejpratap alleged that Ashish Ranjan, who handled the marketing function of his firm LR Radhe Krishna Agarbatti, cheated him by allegedly diverting ₹71,000 in his own bank account without the MLA’s permission.

The elder Yadav scion was in news recently for opening a shop selling incense sticks and other articles used in pooja rituals. The shop is located in Danapur, close to the cowshed owned by his father Lalu Prasad.

“Ranjan received ₹71,000 in his own account without my permission. This money was to be sent to the account of LR Radha Krishna Agarbatti. It happened without my permission. I demand legal action against Ranjan,” Yadav said in his written complaint to the police.

The station house officer (SHO) of SK Puri police station, SK Singh, said, “I have received a complaint from Tejpratap Yadav against his staff. I have talked to both to know the facts. The police are looking into the matter,” he said.
