Lalu's daughter Misa caught in Harvard row

In a major embarrassment, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad's daughter Dr Misa Bharti is alleged to have lied about being invited as a speaker at the prestigious American University, Harvard.

After releasing a few photos to media and posting on social media site, Misa had stated that she had delivered a lecture at the prestigious American university Harvard.

However, the institute has clarified that she was not invited as a speaker at an India Conference held on March 7-8 and the pictures are a gross misrepresentation.

According to CNN-IBN report, the Harvard released a statement saying, "Misa Bharti was invited as part of the audience and not as a speaker of any panel at the India Conference at Harvard. Her attendee status can also be confirmed from the fact that she had to purchase a ticket as an audience. She was not invited to deliver any lecture."

It is alleged that Misa took photos on stage after the conference ended.
