UP MLA Raja Bhaiya files for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty

| @indiablooms | Apr 13, 2023, at 10:01 pm

Delhi: Uttar Pradesh's Kunda MLA Kunwar Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya has filed for divorce accusing his wife Bhanvi Kumari of mental cruelty and desertion, media reports said.

The MLA filled the divorce plea in November 2022 and the matter was listed for a hearing on April 10 before Delhi's Saket Family Court.

However, the date was postponed to May 23 as the family court judge was on leave.

According to an India Today report, the discord between the couple cropped up following a row between Bhanvi Singh and Raja Bhaiya's brother Akshay Pratap Singh. The matter worsened when Raja Bhaiya sided with his brother.

Bhanvi Singh registered an FIR at the Jorbagh police station, bringing allegations against Akshay Pratap Singh under sections 420, 467, 468, 471,109 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

She brought charges of financial irregularities in the Economic Offences Wing against Akshay Pratap Singh alias Gopal ji, who is an MLC.

In the divorce petition, Raja Bhaiya stated that his wife not only left the marital home but also refused to reside with him.

He said Bhanvi Singh made baseless accusations against his brother, leading to conflict and emotional distress among family members, amounting to mental and emotional cruelty towards him.

Raja Bhaiya and Bhanvi Singh were married in 1995 and have four children, two daughters and two twin sons.
