Union minister of state for home affairs Ajay Kumar Mishra's son, Ashish Mishra, was arrested by UP police on Saturday in connection to the violence at Lakhimpur Kheri.
People from other states have started arriving in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri for the "antim ardas (the last prayers)" of the farmers killed in violence on October 3.
Over the last two days, several Opposition leaders have extended support to the farmers' families, and termed the Adityanth government’s handling of the incident as a 'severe erosion of democracy'.Â
