Overview

  • The FIR names BJP leader Ajay Mishra Teni, his son Ashish Mishra, Amandeep Singh and one unidentified person.
  • It invokes IPC sections 195A (threatening a witness), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 120B (criminal conspiracy).
  • Complainant Baljinder Singh alleges he was pressured, threatened and offered ₹1 lakh on August 15–16, 2023 to avoid testifying, and says he recorded the conversation.
  • Police say the investigation has begun and statements from all parties will be recorded, according to Lakhimpur Kheri SP Sankalp Sharma.
  • Singh says he relocated to Punjab after the alleged threats, and the case ties back to the 2021 Tikunia violence in which Ashish Mishra is the prime accused and out on bail.
