On October 3 night, eight people were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri after a convoy of three SUVs hit a group of farmers who were protesting against the farm laws introduced by the centre. It is said that Mishra's son Ashish was driving one of the vehicles. After the incident, several opposition leaders staged protests demanding the resignation of the Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Misra.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tweeted, "The Union Minister of State for Home and his son is responsible for the political tension in Lakhimpur. Why is the BJP government protecting them? Instead of taking us into custody, the government should be quick to act against the guilty BJP leaders." On Monday, she was detained in Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur.
