As investigation into the Lakhimpur Kheri incident intensifies, pressure is mounting on Union minister of state for home Ajay Mishra to resign to facilitate a fair probe into the death of four farmers, who were mowed down by a convoy of three vehicles, one of them allegedly driven by his son Ashish. Ashish has since been arrested over the incident, which also saw the death of four other people who allegedly died in retaliation by the protesting farmers. The dead included an on-duty journalist who was also crushed under the wheels of the convoy, which included an SUV registered in the name of the minister.
