Bahraich's Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) Ashok Kumar said, "A deputy superintendent of police and an inspector have gone to Lakhimpur Kheri to bring the bodies of the dead farmers."
With two of the four farmers killed in Lakhimpur Kheri violence turning out to be from Bahraich, local residents on Monday both mourned their deaths and agitated against their killings amid an eerie silence enveloping their villages.
The two Bahraich residents who fell victim to Sunday's violence in Lakhimpur Kheri were identified as Daljit Singh, 42, a resident of Banjaran Tanda village of Nanpara Kotwali area and Gurvinder Singh, 22, of Moharnia village under Matera police station of Bahraich district.
While Bahraich natives, led by various organisations, lodged their protest by submitting a memorandum, addressed to President Ram Nath Kovind, to the district administration, the Samajwadi Party workers burnt effigies of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and held "satyagraha" at many places.
In their memorandum addressed to President Kovind, locals expressed grief and demanded stern action against those responsible for the incident.
