Ajay Mishra Teni's son, Ashish, was allegedly in car that had last year mowed down 4 farmers protesting against now-repealed farm laws. He was granted bail by Allahabad HC in February.
UP rejected SIT recommendation to challenge bail to Mishra, saying all witnesses are under protection. CJI Ramana said SC expected state to follow SIT’s suggestion.
Decision on appeal still pending, says govt affidavit, no timeline given. State also says two incidents of witnesses being attacked not linked to Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
Three family members of farmers, who were killed in the violence, have sought a stay on the bail order by the Allahabad HC, saying the verdict was 'unsustainable in the eyes of law'.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav also vowed to take action against those who shielded perpetrators of the crime if his party forms the government in Uttar Pradesh.
Ashish, MoS Ajay Mishra Teni's son, was lodged in jail since October 2021 in the case related to killing of farmers in the violence that erupted during farmers' protest in district.
Eight people including four farmers were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri during violence that erupted on 3 October last year. Ashish Mishra is one of the prime accused in the incident.
Meeting chaired by Vice Admiral (retd) G. Ashok Kumar, India’s 1st national maritime security coordinator. ‘Crucial policy issues’ such as ‘blue economy initiative’ also discussed.
Modi govt's biggest flaw has been its disinclination to accept limitations of electoral majorities. This ruined land acquisition and farm reform, stalled labour codes.
