Lakhimpur violence: Opposition strong reacts to reports claiming accused BJP MP's son fled to Nepal

New Delhi/IBNS: Mounting more pressure on the saffron camp, the Opposition has strongly reacted to the reports claiming Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ajay Mishra's son Ashish, an accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence, fled to Nepal snubbing the police summons.

The Congress has put up a tweet which reads, "The main accused in the Lakhimpur violence is at large. The UP police are unable to search for him... The BJP government should protect people instead of criminals."

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra tweeted, "Munna doesn’t answer summons, keeps cops waiting. Yet same UP cops travelled 700kms to Delhi during Covid to question journo @svaradarajan & slammed poor Siddique Kappan in jail for something he was yet to write."

"The Minister's son fled to Nepal," tweeted Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chaddha.

Union minister of state for Home, Ajay Mishra Teni's son Ashish has not reported at the crime branch here till 10 am Friday in connection with the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.

The entire police team is stationed at the Crime Branch but Ashish Mishra is still absconding, sources here said.

On the other hand, it has been reported that Ashish could have fled to nearby Nepal through Uttarakhand as his last mobile location was detected at Gaurifanta in Uttarakhand last night, which is very close to the Nepal border, the sources added.
