The Allahabad High Court will continue hearing bail plea of Ashish Mishra alias Monu, son of Union minister Ajay Mishra, allegedly involved in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence that left eight people dead.

The victim side concluded its arguments after which the court fixed July 13 as the date for hearing the state government's arguments. Justice Krishna Pahal passed the order on the plea moved by Ashish Mishra. The victim side presented several pieces of evidence in order to establish that Ashish Mishra was present at the site and his involvement in the incident was clear. Four farmers, part of a protest against the now-repealed farm laws, were killed on October 3 last year when a car mowed them down near Tikonia village in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri.
