Lucknow, Feb 14: Ashish Mishra, the main suspect in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, will be released from prison on Tuesday. On February 10, the Allahabad High Court’s Lucknow bench granted him bail.
However, Ashish Mishra, the son of Union minister Ajay Mishra Teni, was unable to be released because his bail order excluded two of the charges against him, that includes Sections 302 (murder) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.
The Allahabad High Court ruled on Monday to append the missing sections to the bail order after his lawyer filed a correction motion to have them added.
As soon as the court announces the updated bail order, the paperwork for Ashish Mishra’s release will begin. On Tuesday, he will be released from the Lakhimpur jail in Uttar Pradesh.
Notably on October 3, violence occurred in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri, killing eight people, including four farmers. The incident occurred during a farmers’ demonstration before of Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya’s visit to Lakhimpur. A car driven by Ashish Mishra allegedly ploughed over the protesting farmers, killing four of them. Four more persons were killed in the ensuing fighting.
