An SIT member said, “We have issued summons to record statements of the farmers who were present on the spot and were part of the mob. A few of them appeared before us earlier but none were arrested.”Advocate Harjeet Singh, who is representing the farmers, said, “A few farmers were earlier summoned for questioning under lenient sections as they were part of the mob but were not involved in the violence. The farmers who received the summons now are the ones who are witnesses in the case of the murder of farmers. We are waiting for the SIT to find the two other accused in the convoy who managed to escape.”Four farmers and a journalist were allegedly mowed down by Union Minister Ajay Misra Teni’s son Ashish Misra’s convoy.
