In a major embarrassment for Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad's daughter Dr Misa Bharti, who had released a few photos to Indian newspapers along with a press release stating that she had delivered a lecture at the prestigious American university Harvard, the educational institute has revealed that she was not invited as a speaker at an India Conference held on March 7-8 and the pictures are a gross misrepresentation.

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."

The remarks came after the conference organising committee noticed that Misa Bharti had uploaded some pictures on her own on social media account which were objectionable due to gross misrepresentation.

After the conference ended, Misa allegedly went on stage, took photographs and released it to Indian newspapers along with a press release stating that she had delivered a lecture at Harvard.

The Harvard added, "Misa did not deliver any lecture and therefore no local US newspaper covered her lecture. She did not deliver any lecture and therefore we do not have any official pictures or videos."
