She was arrested for breaching Section 144, according to the FIR. Priyanka posted a viral video of the Lakhimpur Kheri incident earlier this morning, asking why the person responsible for the killing of four farmers has not been caught while she has been detained for 28 hours without an FIR.
The protestors were enraged by Mr. Mishra’s recent address. Farmers reported that protestors were run over by a car in the minister’s convoy, resulting in violence. Arson was seen in the vicinity, as well as automobiles that had been set ablaze.
