Politics erupts over Lakhimpur violence: Who's the aggressor, who's the victim?
Noida,UPDATED: Oct 4, 2021 22:03 IST
The UP government on Monday grappled with the aftermath of violence during a farmers’ protest in Lakhimpur Kheri, lodging a case against Union minister Ajay Mishra's son, promising a probe by a retired high court judge and stopping opposition leaders from reaching the trouble spot.

Farmer leaders claimed that the Union minister's son Ashish Mishra was in one of the cars which, they alleged, knocked down some protesters who were opposing the deputy CM's visit.
However, Ajay Mishra said he and his son were not present at the spot as alleged by some farmer leaders and he has photo and video evidence to prove it.
