Wherever and whenever the law directs, I will comply. I will always be present.” He further clarified that all legal aspects of the matter currently before the court will be handled by his lawyer.“Regarding the matter that is currently before the Honourable High Court, whatever legal questions arise, the proper response, with full facts and truth, will be given by our lawyer, Mr Bhaskar Upadhyay.

Every day is a learning day. Every day is a new day,” he concluded. Yadav is currently on bail to attend his niece’s wedding in Shahjahanabad, Uttar Pradesh. The court granted him relief after he deposited Rs 1.5 crore with the complainant and directed him to surrender his passport. The next hearing in the matter is scheduled for March 18.
