Lakhimpur Kheri Case: SC not satisfied with UP govt report, retired HC judge to monitor probe

The Supreme Court expressed its disappointment over a status report filed by the Uttar Pradesh government on the October 3 violence that erupted in Lakhimpur Kheri in which eight people, including four farmers and a local journalist, were killed. Further, unhappy over the mixing of witnesses in different FIRs in the case, the apex court said it will appoint a former judge of a high court from outside UP to monitor the investigation.
