Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra, on Sunday surrendered before a local court in Lakhimpur Kheri a week after the Supreme Court on April 18 set aside the bail granted to him by the Allahabad High Court in the killing of farmers in October 2021.
"Ashish has surrendered in the court. We were given a week's time but as Monday was the last day, he surrendered a day ahead," Mr. Ashish's counsel Awadesh Singh told the PTI. While setting aside his bail, the apex court had directed him to surrender in a week.
Mr. Ashish alias Monu was sent back to the Lakhimpur Kheri district jail, officials said.
