By <strong>taking cognisance (to notice or give attention to (something))<\/strong> of the incidents that took place during a farmers\u2019 protest at Tikonia in Lakhimpur-Kheri district, the Court may have helped infuse some much-needed <strong>impetus (something that encourages something else to happen) <\/strong>to the investigation. The Bench gave enough time until its next hearing on October 20 to the police to pursue the probe diligently, but not without thinking aloud on whether any other agency ought to take it over and asking the State police chief to preserve the evidence. The arrest of the Minister\u2019s son, coming after he had skipped an earlier summons and was questioned for long hours once he appeared, is largely in response to the Court\u2019s criticism. The Bench, headed by the Chief Justice of India, N.V. Ramana, wondered how investigators in a murder case could merely issue summons to the prime suspect instead of taking steps to <strong>apprehend (Take into custody) <\/strong>him. Scepticism about the intentions of the State police is not misplaced. It is not the first time that the initial response is one of hesitancy and <strong>obfuscation (Confusion resulting from failure to understand)<\/strong>, but once an incident <strong>blows up (make bigger)<\/strong> enough to occasion judicial intervention, there is some action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is known so far is that vehicles in the Minister\u2019s convoy <strong>ploughed through ((of a vehicle) to run uncontrollably into something in its path) <\/strong>a group of farmers, causing four deaths. Three others may have died in <strong>retaliatory (\u200bintended to harm somebody because they harmed you first) <\/strong>violence by the infuriated mob, while Raman Kashyap, a television reporter, may also have been run over. Initial reports that the driver lost control after being hit by a hail of stones have been superseded by footage that seems to show the vehicle being driven into a group of unsuspecting people. The FIR says Ashish Mishra was in one of the cars, even though he claims to have been elsewhere. The role of the Union Minister should also be subjected to scrutiny, as some reports suggest he may have made a provocative speech earlier to the effect that the protesting farmers should either mend their ways or he would set them straight. The mention of a \u2018conspiracy\u2019 in the FIR gives scope to the police to examine this angle. It is regrettable that the Union government is noticeably silent, and there appears to be no effort to advise Mr. Ajay Mishra to step down until his and his son\u2019s names are cleared. It is difficult to see how an impartial probe can go on as long as he is in office, and his party\u2019s government in the State is seen to be soft on the accused. The onus is on the Uttar Pradesh police now to conduct a credible investigation, if the Court does not replace the present set of investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-rrb-office-assistant\/?refcode=2876&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Oct+11%2C+2021%3B+Day+157_111021_RRBOAM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RRBOAM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RRB_Clerk_250821-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"RRB_Clerk_Free Mock\" class=\"wp-image-7796\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to learn new words on a daily basis?
