The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday granted regular bail to 12 accused in the case relating to the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence, which claimed at least eight lives and in which former Union minister Ajay Mishra Teni’s son Ashish is the main accused.

While approving the release of the accused on bail, the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court asked them to cooperate in the trial or their bail would be revoked.

The prime accused in the case, Ashish Mishra, was already granted regular bail by the Supreme Court earlier this year.
