Prateek Yadav, the younger son of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, passed away at the age of 38 on Tuesday. According to reports, he was brought to Lucknow’s Civil Hospital around 6 am, where doctors declared him dead. Prateek was the son of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s second wife, Sadhana Gupta. He was also the stepbrother of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and the husband of BJP leader Aparna Yadav.
Despite belonging to one of India’s most prominent political families, Prateek Yadav maintained a distance from active politics. Instead, he focused on business ventures, particularly in the fitness and real estate sectors.
Prateek had studied at the University of Leeds in Britain. Over the years, he built a career outside the political sphere and was known for his entrepreneurial interests.
In Lucknow, Prateek owned a gym named ‘The Fitness Planet’. Apart from his fitness business, he was also associated with social welfare activities through an organisation called ‘Jeev Aashray’.
