Prateek was the son of Sadhna Gupta, the second wife of Mulayam Singh Yadav. Sadhna Gupta was first married to Chandraprakash Gupta in 1986, and Prateek was born in 1987. The couple divorced in 1990.
Around the same time, Sadhna grew close to Mulayam Singh Yadav. In 2003, Mulayam Singh married Sadhna Gupta and publicly acknowledged Prateek as his son.
