New Delhi, Oct. 09: Union minister Ajay Mishra Teni’s son Ashish was questioned today for nearly nine hours by the UP Police SIT probing the Lakhimpur violence.
At least eight people died in the violence that erupted on October 3 during a farmers’ protest in Lakhimpur Kheri of Uttar Pradesh.
Some farmers have alleged that Ashish was behind the wheels of a vehicle that ran over farmers, causing deaths and injuries.
