Four of them were farmers who died after a speeding Mahindra Thar mowed them down while they were protesting peacefully. They allege that Union Minister Ajay Mishra’s son Ashish Mishra was present at the time of the incident. However, Mishra who has now surrendered to the police says that he was not present at the spot. The case is now in Supreme Court.
