Hari Om died during the violence that broke out in Lakhimpur Kheri after the convoy of vehicles mowed down the farmers. Seven others died that day: four farmers, two BJP workers, and a journalist.
He had been working for minister Ajay Kumar Mishra as a driver for the last six years and was one of the sole breadwinners for his family of 10.
Speaking to Newslaundry's Nidhi Suresh and Shivangi Saxena, his cousin Rajnikanth explains what happened and how after Hari Om's death, minister Ajay Kumar Mishra called the family and promised Rs 1 lakh for Hari Om's younger sister Maheshwari’s wedding.
