Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra has reportedly tied the knot with Biju Janata Dal leader Pinaki Misra in a private ceremony. The wedding took place in Germany on May 3.
Photos of their wedding are going viral on social media.
During the 2023 cash-for-query controversy involving Mahua Moitra, her relationship with Mishra came to the fore. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) cited an affidavit by businessman Darshan Hiranandani, alleging a close relationship between Moitra and Mishra.
