LUCKNOW, May 13 : Prateek Yadav, the younger son of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav and stepbrother of Akhilesh Yadav, died in Lucknow on Wednesday at the age of 38.
According to reports, he was taken to a civil hospital in the state capital after his health deteriorated, where doctors declared him dead. The sudden demise has cast a shadow of grief over the Yadav family and supporters of the Samajwadi Party.
