Ashish Mishra, the son of MoS Home Ajay Mishra Teni and prime accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence walks out of jail after being released on bail.

Mishra's lawyer, Avdesh Kumar Singh, was quoted by news agency ANI as saying the court had demanded two sureties of 3 lakh each but imposed no restrictions on leaving of the city.

Ashish was granted bail last week by the Allahabad High Court, after the lower courts rejected requests.

He had moved the Lucknow bench of the High Court seeking insertion of sections 302 (murder) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC that were "inadvertently" not mentioned in the high court order as the jail authorities would not release him due to the omission.
