Ashish has been asked to appear before the police at 10 am on Friday in connection with the Lakhimpur Kheri violence on Friday. Despite appearing on a TV channel earlier, he failed to appear before the police, which prompted the Supreme Court to make some serious comments in the matter.
‘Go and arrest the accused’
Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said that the allegations are very serious.
“We are not on merit. The charge is of 302. Treat him as we treat other people in other matters. It is not that we have sent notice, please come,” said CJI Ramana while hearing the matter, as reported by Live Law
He further commented: “What message are we sending? What will the police do if 302 cases are registered under normal circumstances? Go and arrest the accused!”
Samyukta Kisan Morcha’s statement in this regard read: “… His (Ashish Mishra) is untraceable. News reports indicate that he is shifting and is absconding, several teams of UP Police are on the lookout for him. .
The Morcha expressed “grave concern and shock” over Ashish not being arrested. While investigators waited for his arrival, reports speculated that he may have fled to Nepal.
