On Tuesday, the Supreme Court granted permission to Ashish Mishra, the primary accused in the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence that resulted in the loss of eight lives, to visit and stay in Delhi for the purpose of attending to his ailing mother and daughter. Back in January, the apex court had granted Mr. Mishra, who is the son of Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ajay Mishra Teni, an eight-week interim bail. However, during that period, he was prohibited from entering either the national capital or Uttar Pradesh.
