Lakhimpur violence: Farmers' kin dispute autopsy, agree to cremate three after mediation

For hours on Tuesday morning, families of farmers who died in Sunday’s violence at Banbirpur in Lakhimpur Kheri refused to cremate the bodies after the autopsy reports "did not mention bullet injuries". Over the day, with BKU spokesperson Rakesh Tikait stepping in and holding talks with the administration, the bodies of three of them were finally cremated and a second autopsy ordered for the fourth. Police, meanwhile, have set up an SIT to investigate charges from both sides.
