Sakshi Mishra, who claimed she and her husband Ajitesh Kumar were feeling threatened by her MLA father Rajesh Mishra for marrying outside their caste, was granted protection by Allahabad High Court on Monday, a day they were reportedly attacked outside the court complex.
Justice Siddharth Verma granted protection to Sakshi and Ajitesh who had asked for security contending that there is a threat to their life from Mishra who is unhappy with the marriage as Sakshi is a Brahmin and Ajitesh a Dalit.
