Supreme Court will hear today the PIL on #Lakhmipurkheri incident.
The Supreme Court had on 8th November expressed dissatisfaction with the Uttar Pradesh Police probe once again. The bench wasn't happy to know that the forensic lab reports regarding the video evidence have not yet come and that the mobile phones of all accused have not been seized.
The bench also expressed concerns about the case against the prime accused relating to the attack on farmers being diluted by clubbing the investigation with the counter-case of mob lynching. The bench said that it was proposing to appoint a retired judge from a High Court of another state to monitor the investigation to ensure that there is no overlapping of the evidence in both cases.
The widow of Shyam Sunder, the BJP worker who got killed in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence of October 3, expressed before the Supreme Court that she did not have confidence in the UP Police investigation.
Meanwhile, the Uttar Pradesh Government, on the last occasion, orally submitted that the local journalist Raman Kashyap who was killed in the violent incident at Lakhimpur Kheri, died due to being crushed by the car and not because of mob lynching.
Lakhimpur Kheri violence of October 3, which claimed the lives of 8 people, four of them being farmers, was allegedly mowed down by the vehicles in the convoy of Ashish Mishra, the son of Union Minister and BJP MP Ajay Kumar Mishra.
