A fresh interrogation video linked to Lakhimpur Kheri violence in Uttar Pradesh emerged on Wednesday. The video shows a police officer interrogating a man who is sitting on the ground in a soaked white vest with blood trickling down his cheek.

However, the authenticity of the video is still pending.

This interrogation video comes days after an SUV ran over protesting farmers in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri district where 8 people, including 4 farmers and a local journalist were killed in the violence on Sunday.

In the video, a police officer can be seen questioning a man with a mike in hand and there were also people around the cop to shoot the video statement of the man. The video is from Lucknow’s Charbagh area.

The officer can be seen asking a number of questions about the ownership of the car that ran over the protesting farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri on Sunday. During interrogation, the man revealed that he was sitting in the back seat of black Fortuner that had five people in it. The vehicle belonged to an ex-Congress MP, he said and then he gives out the car number.

Who was in the car ahead, asked the policeman, the man replied don’t know. When the policeman asked who was in the Thar, he answered Bhaiya Ke Saathi which means they were all his men, the man replied yes, they were all his men.

Here, Bhaiya is a reference to Ashish Mishra, Union Minister Ajay Mishra’s son.

In an earlier viral video linked to the Lakhimpur Kheri violence, a Thar was seen running over protesting farmers who were marching and slogan-shouting. The Thar was followed by the SUV that hit the farmers but it was not clear from the visuals who was driving the car.

Apart from opposition leaders, the video has also been shared by Pilibhit MP Varun Gandhi from the ruling BJP.
