Yadav had staged a sit-in on October 4 as he was stopped by the police from going to Lakhimpur Kheri to meet the families of four farmers who were bitten by the car of state ministry (home) Ajay Mishra’s son Ashish on October 3. The former UP CM was also detained by the police for some time.
The Gautampalli police have also registered a case against Amit alias ‘Master’ for allegedly burning a police van in front of the police station.
SP spokesperson Abdul Hafiz Gandhi took a dig at the Yogi Adityanath-led UP government and described the move as “desperation”. “The BJP knows very well that it is not returning to power in 2022, so it is registering cases against its political opponents. The Samajwadi Party will not deviate from such acts of political vendetta. We will continue to raise the voice of farmers. It was our right and duty to meet the bereaved families at Lakhimpur Kheri. The government is wrong here,” he said.
Ashish Mishra, the main accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, has been arrested and sent to jail along with his accomplice Ankit Das and bodyguard.
