Lakhimpur Kheri Case: High Court To Hear Bail Plea Of Minister's Son Today

Four farmers were killed on October 3 last year when a car mowed them down near Tikonia village in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri.

The Allahabad High Court will on Monday resume hearing the bail plea of Union minister Ajay Mishra's son Ashish Mishra, allegedly involved in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence that left eight people dead.

In the hearing before the Lucknow bench of the high court on Friday, the victims' side had cited the rejection of the bail pleas of co-accused Ankit Das and others in the case.

The counsel had also argued that Ashish Mishra's bail plea was not maintainable, citing new offences added against him during the police investigation.

Justice Krishan Pal had then fixed July 11 as the next date for the hearing.
