# Congress MP Imran Masood’s daughter alleges assault, family feud erupts 2026-08-23T18:39:14+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Congress MP Imran Masood's daughter Subiya has been allegedly assaulted and thrown out of her home by her husband Shayan Masood and his father Shadan Masood, according to a Facebook Live accusation by her brother Hamza Noman Masood on Saturday. Hamza claimed the family had kept silent for nearly five years to protect its reputation, but was now speaking out because of continuing statements against them. The allegations surfaced days after Shayan quit the Congress and joined the Samajwadi Party on August 20. Hamza alleged that Subiya was harassed due to political differences and that the family possesses recordings of private conversations and incidents. He warned he could release them if the dispute continues. Responding, Shayan objected to private family matters being made public and challenged Hamza to a political fight instead. He said he was prepared to answer every charge in private. The allegations have not been independently verified. ## Indian Opinion Analysis This is not the first time a political defection in Uttar Pradesh has triggered a family feud with domestic violence allegations. What makes this case unusual is that a sitting MP's own daughter is the alleged victim, and the MP's nephew has taken the public lead. The political stakes are high: Imran Masood represents a Congress that is a marginal player in UP against the ruling BJP and a resurgent SP under Akhilesh Yadav. The next step will be whether Subiya files a police complaint, which would force a criminal investigation, or whether the family attempts a private settlement to contain the political damage before the next election cycle. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Leads with the allegations as stated, includes both sides' statements, and notes the claims are unverified.
