The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) spokesperson Rakesh Tikait on Thursday urged the government to immediately "arrest the culprits of the Lakhimpur massacre".
Mr Tikait in a tweet today said, "The government should immediately arrest the culprits of the Lakhimpur massacre."
A total of eight people including four farmers died in the violence that took place in Lakhimpur Kheri on October 3.
Samyukta Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of several farmer unions, alleged that Ashish Mishra Teni, son of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Mishra Teni arrived with three vehicles around the time that farmers were dispersing from their protest at the helipad and mowed down farmers and towards the end also attacked SKM leader Tajinder Singh Virk directly, by trying to run a vehicle over him.
