Union Minister Ajay Mishra - whose son Ashish has not been arrested despite being named in a murder case connected with the death of eight people at Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri on Sunday - attended a national conference of prison officials on Thursday morning.
The media, earlier invited to cover the event, was not allowed in. The invitation was withdrawn over concerns reporters could press Mr Mishra on the delayed arrest of his son.
Ashish Mishra has been accused of murder and negligence in a FIR filed by UP Police.
However, the authorities have yet to arrest or question him.
