After Samyukta Kisan Morcha claimed that one of the four farmers was shot dead by Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni's son, while the others have been allegedly run over by the vehicles of his convoy in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri district, Teni said that his son was not present at the spot, adding that some miscreants merged with protesting farmers and pelted the stones on the car which lead to the 'unfortunate incident'."My son wasn't present at the spot. There were miscreants who attacked workers with sticks and swords. If my son would've been there, he wouldn't have come out alive," Teni added while elaborating about the incident."During Lakhimpur Kheri visit, our workers came to receive us amid farmers' protest. Some miscreants from agitating farmers started stone pelting on car and injured our driver. Due to this, our car got imbalanced and 2 people died coming under it. After this, our 3 workers were killed and cars were set on fire,"Teni toldin a phone call."They've killed people and damaged and torched cars. We have video evidence," he added.He said that "four of our (BJP workers) workers were killed" and asserted that cases under section 302 will be lodged against the culprits."Our workers even did not have any fault. They were going to receive the chief guest. When our workers were going they started pelting stones on the vehicles. Our workers were beaten by dragging them out from the vehicles. They torched the cars. We will lodge cases against the culprits," he added.Emphasising about the presence of terrorist organisations during the farmers' protest, he said "Since the beginning of the farmers' protests, several terrorist organisations were making attempts to disrupt the peace. Now people are making statements to do politics."Meanwhile, UP Government has instructed ADG law and order Prashant Kumar and ACS (Agriculture) Devesh Chaturvedi to visit the spot where the Lakhimpur incident took place.Injured people were sent to the Lakhimpur Kheri District Hospital where two persons were declared brought dead."Two persons were brought dead to the hospital.
