New Delhi, July 25
The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court is likely to pronounce its order on Tuesday on the bail plea of Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni’s son Ashish Mishra in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.
Four farmers were mowed down by an SUV in Lakhimpur Kheri when those against farm laws were holding a demonstration against Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya’s visit on October 3, 2021. In the subsequent violence, two BJP workers, a driver and a journalist were killed. It was alleged that Ashish was sitting in one of the cars.
Justice Krishna Pahel, who had reserved the order on Ashish’s bail plea on July 15, is expected to pronounce the verdict on Tuesday. Ashish’s counsel had contended that at the time of the incident, he was not at the crime scene, which has been stated by 197 people in their affidavits.
