Youth Congress workers clashed with Delhi Police on Saturday afternoon, demanding the arrest of Ashish Mishra accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.

Protests over the deaths of eight people, including four farmers, in UP's Lakhimpur Kheri turned violent this week.

Dozens of people were seen holding placards, shouting slogans, and jumping on burning effigies on the streets of the national capital.

Protesters were also seen fighting with the cops as they tried to break past barricades.

Son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra is accused of running his car over protesting farmers. However, nearly a week after that incident, he remains a free man.

After skipping summons earlier, Ashish Mishra appeared before the UP police on Saturday for questioning

On Wednesday and Thursday, the Supreme Court questioned the UP government and police's handling of the case, and asked for a status report on investigations
