A new twist has come in the Lakhimpur Violence case of Uttar Pradesh. The SIT constituted to investigate the matter has also admitted that the entire incident of crushing the farmers with a vehicle was a well-planned conspiracy. The SIT has now also changed the sections imposed on the accused. Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni's son Ashish Mishra will now face a case of murder instead of culpable homicide. Today the accused will also have to appear in court.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Lakhimpur Kheri violence on October 3 has applied to the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM). Under this, a request has been made to include new sections against 13 accused to make their offense punishable under the charges of attempt to murder. SIT Investigating Officer Vidyaram Diwakar applied to the CJM court last week to add new sections to the warrant in place of sections 279, 338, and 304A of the IPC.
Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya was going on a tour of Lakhimpur Kheri as per the schedule. Cars were going to receive them. These vehicles were said to belong to Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra. On the way, farmers started protesting in the Tikunia area. This led to a clash. Later it was alleged that Ashish Mishra overpowered the farmers, killing 4 people. After the death of the farmers, the matter escalated and violence broke out. Four people including the driver of the BJP leader died in the violence. Altogether 8 people have died in this violence so far. And after this incident, there was a lot of resentment in the people.
