Prateek Yadav Died After Medical Emergency

Apart from his association with one of Uttar Pradesh’s most influential political families, Prateek was also known for his business interests and involvement in social causes. An MBA graduate from the University of Leeds, he was active in the real estate sector and was recognised among close associates as a fitness enthusiast and supporter of animal welfare initiatives.
