Lakhimpur Kheri Case: Ashish Mishra Moves SC For Bail, Challenging Allahabad HC Order

Ashish Mishra, the prime accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri case, has moved to Supreme Court for bail, after his plea was rejected by the Allahabad High Court. Mishra contended that there is no scope for him tamper with the evidence, since all 98 witnesses have been provided security. The charge-sheet filed against Mishra submitted that he had “pre-planned” the killing. Further details are awaited.
