Patna, November 29: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad's elder son Tej Pratap Yadav has withdrawn the petition seeking divorce from his wife Aishwarya Rai. Tej Pratap and Aishwarya had gotten married six months ago. He had filed for a divorce in a Patna court on November 2 and the hearing was supposed to take place today. However, reports now say that Tej Pratap has withdrawn his plea. This may come as a relief for Lalu Prasad's family members, who have been disappointed over the turn of events. Tej Pratap-Aishwarya Rai Divorce: RJD Leader Visits Vrindavan Again, Says 'Want to Live in Peace'.

Tej Pratap and Aishwarya got married in Patna on May 14 this year. On November 2, Tej Pratap filed for a divorce from Aishwarya citing "compatibility issues". He had not returned home after he visited his father in Ranchi and spoke to him regarding his decision to divorce his wife.

He has reportedly been in Uttar Pradesh and has threatened that he won't return home unless his parents supported his decision. In the past few months after his marriage, Tej Pratap reportedly spent a number of days in Vrindavan, where he was reportedly seen playing the flute with a peacock feather tied to his head in the midst of a herd of cows.
