A local journalist was among the eight people killed in Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday during protests against a Union Minister's visit that turned violent.
Raman Kashyap, 35, was at the site to report for a local channel on the protests when violence flared up after an SUV in Union Minister Ajay Mishra's convoy ran over protesters. Farmers have alleged that the car that ran over farmers was driven by the minister's son Ashish Mishra. Raman was allegedly crushed under the car. His body was found hours after the incident. He had been missing since the incident, his father Ram Dulari told NDTV.
