  "account": "Uttar Pradesh's BJP MLA Gyan Tiwari has accused his daughter of marrying a conman who duped many women with fake identities, leading to the filing of a First Information Report (FIR). The police arrested Anuj Trivedi and his son Prakhar, the accused, in connection with the matter. Tiwari alleged that his daughter Pragya married Prakhar in 2024, who presented himself as a successful real estate businessman from Mumbai while concealing his criminal past. The couple's marriage was based on local recommendations, but surfaced a few years later when information about Prakhar's alleged fraudulent activities emerged. Tiwari stated that his family severed all connections with the accused family and brought back Pragya to their home, citing severe trauma caused to the family and his public reputation as a representative.",
  "summary": "According to the complaint, the MLA's daughter Pragya married Prakhar Trivedi, son of Anuj Trivedi and a resident of Chandrawal in Mishrikh, in 2024.",
