No Arrest Will Be Made Without Evidence In UP Violence Case: Yogi Adityanath

"Everyone is equal before the law and according to the Supreme Court, no one can be arrested without evidence, and investigation is underway. FIR has been lodged against a written complaint and no one will be spared," Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said no arrest will be made without evidence in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case and termed opposition leaders heading to meet the bereaved families as "no goodwill messengers".

The violence left eight people, including four farmers, dead on Sunday.

"Everyone is equal before the law and according to the Supreme Court, no one can be arrested without evidence, and investigation is underway. FIR has been lodged against a written complaint and no one will be spared," the chief minister said at a conclave organised by a private news channel.

Mr Adityanath also stressed that there will be no injustice with anyone and no action will be taken under any pressure.
