The Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, recreated the crime scene in the presence of four accused, including Union Minister's son Ashish Mishra and his friend Ankit Das, gunman Latif and driver Shekhar Bharti.

The entire area, where the October 3 incident took place, in which four farmers were mowed down by an SUV and five others killed in the ensuing violence, was cordoned off. The accused were asked questions about their presence on the spot even though they knew that farmers were protesting there.
