The Supreme Court on Monday extended an interim bail granted to Ashish Mishra son of Minister of State in Ministry of Home affairs Ajay Kumar Mishra till next date of hearing in connection with the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.

A bench presided by Justice Surya Kant heard the case today.

Earlier while granting interim bail to Mishra, the court imposed certain conditions on him. The top court ordered that Mishra could not stay in the state of Uttar Pradesh or Delhi-NCR and he will have to inform the court about his location. The court further said that any attempt by him or his family to influence witnesses would lead to cancellation of his bail. The court also made Mishra surrender his passport.

Mishra's SUV allegedly mowed down four farmers  during the protest. According to FIR filed by Uttar Pradesh, Mishra was seated in the car while the incident took place.
