Lakhimpur Kheri violence case: Main accused Ashish Mishra hospitalised with dengue symptoms

LUCKNOW: Ashish Mishra, son of Union minister Ajay Mishra Teni and the main accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, has been hospitalised and his sample was sent to a laboratory for confirmation of dengue, officials said on Saturday.
"It is not confirmed as to whether he (Mishra) is suffering from dengue. His sample was sent for testing on Friday. The picture will be clear once the report comes," superintendent of the Lakhimpur Kheri district jail PP Singh said.
Eight people, including four farmers, were killed in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri on October 3 in violence that erupted during a farmers' protest.
Thirteen people, including Mishra, have so far been arrested in connection with the incident.
