As per news report of NDTV, several other people have also been named in the First Information Report (FIR). Four farmers were among eight people killed in the incident. The farmers had assembled to block the visit of the two ministers, upset over a recent speech by Mr Mishra. Late last month, Mr Mishra had brushed off the protests against the farm laws, saying it was a protest of "10-15 people and it would take just two minutes to make them fall in line". "The farmers had planned to gherao the helipad to stop the arrival of the ministers. Once that ended and most people were on way back, three cars came... and mowed down the farmers... one farmer died on the spot and another in the hospital," said Dr Darshan Pal, a leader of the farmers' union, adding that the minister's son was in the car.
