Note: This video was recorded on 9th October 2021 prior to the arrest of Lakhimpur Kheri Union Minister Ajay Mishra's son Ashish Mishra.
A week after four protesting farmers were killed by a VIP convoy allegedly including Union minister Ajay Kumar Mishra’s son Ashish Mishra, and four others were killed in the violence that followed, the Uttar Pradesh police late on Saturday (October 9) night arrested Ashish.
The arrest came after Ashish reported for questioning on Saturday morning after he failed to appear for interrogation on Friday.
Ashish was named in a first information report (FIR) following allegations that he was in one of the vehicles that mowed down four farmers protesting over UP deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya’s visit on Sunday. His father, the Union minister of state for home, has so far been denying that his son was present at the site of the incident. Ajay continues to hold his post in the Union government.
