Tejinder Virk, hospitalised in Medanta, said it was unfortunate that even after 72 hours, the man had not been arrested.
Two days after eight people, including four farmers, were killed in violence at Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri, an injured protester has alleged that Union Minister Ajay Mishra's son Ashish was driving the car that ran over farmers.
Tejinder Virk, hospitalised in Medanta, said it was unfortunate that even after 72 hours, the man had not been arrested.
Mr Virk had organised the protest on Sunday against the Union Minister's visit to the area for an event.
"This was a conspiracy to kill us. Ajay Mishra had given a statement that he would not allow farmers in Uttar Pradesh, let alone Lakhimpur. We were protesting against this statement. We were constantly in touch with the police and administration. We were standing along the route to wave black flags at him," Mr Virk, being treated for severe wounds, told NDTV.
