Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has married senior advocate and former BJD MP Pinaki Misra in Germany, according to media reports. Though neither Moitra (50) nor Misra (65) issued any official statement on the wedding, a section of media said the two got married in Germany on May 30.
People congratulated Moitra and Misra on social media. TMC Lok Sabha MP from Jadavpur Saayoni Ghosh took to social media to congratulate the couple. Few TMC and BJD MPs who were contacted said they were not aware of the details. Moitra, an investment banker-turned-politician, is an MP from Krishnanagar in West Bengal for the second term. She earlier served a term as a member of the Legislative Assembly in the State. Moitra was earlier married to Danish financier Lars Brorson.
Moitra confirmed the news, later in the day, with a post on X, thanking well wishers for the wishes. The post also carried a picture of the two MPs cutting a wedding cake.
Misra, a leader from the BJD, is a senior advocate in the Supreme Court and has served as an MP from Puri for four terms. He was previously married to Sangeeta Misra, with whom he has two children. Known for her sharp attacks on the ruling BJP, Moitra found herself embroiled in a controversy in 2023 following allegations of taking “cash” and “gifts” for asking questions in Lok Sabha. The inquiry against her was undertaken by the Lok Sabha based on a complaint by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey who cited a letter he received from advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai, Moitra’s former partner.
