The Uttar Pradesh Police’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Thursday sought three-day police custody of Ashish, a prime accused, and three others.
The request came after the SIT identified drivers and several occupants of the three SUVs, which ran over protesting farmers on the day of the incident, killing sevenof them and a journalist.
Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister Ajya Kumar Mishra Teni, was first remanded to police custody on October 11. After the expiry of his first remand period, he was sent back to the Lakhimpur Jail under judicial custody.
