These people had lost their lives in the violence that erupted during the protest of farmers who had gathered to protest UP deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya’s visit to Banbirpur. Violence and arson broke out after a vehicle allegedly ran over protesting farmers. Farmers alleged that a son of a minister was in the vehicle.

Four farmers – Lovepreet Singh, Gurvinder Singh, Daljeet Singh and Nakshatra Singh – died as vehicles mowed the protesters down on the Tikunia-Banbirpur road, claimed farmers’ bodies. The autopsy report suggested they died due to shock, haemorrhage and excessive blood loss. It also showed injuries from a sharp object on the body of Gurvinder, said police.

The post-mortem report of the four others, including union minister of state Ajai Kumar Mishra Teni’s driver Hari Om Mishra and BJP workers Shubham Mishra and Shyam Sundar, also revealed shock, haemorrhage and excessive blood loss as the cause of death. The body of journalist Raman Kashyap also had marks of similar injuries, suggested the report.
