Lakhimpur Kheri farmers, journalist killings were planned, says SIT

The Hindu  

The Special Investigation Team probing the Lakhimpur Kheri violence of October 3 has described the killing of fours farmers and a journalist as a “pre-planned conspiracy”. Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni, is the main accused in the case, as it was his SUV that allegedly crushed the farmers. SIT’s chief investigation officer Vidyaram Diwakar, in his letter, said that as per the investigation and evidence collected so far, the criminal act was not committed because of “negligence”, and “callousness”; rather it was “intentionally carried out through a planned conspiracy” to kill people. Eight people were killed in Banbirpur village near Tikunia in Lakhimpur Kheri district on October 3 after three vehicles allegedly ran over a group of farmers returning after staging a protest against the contentious three farm laws, causing a massive outrage among farmers.
