Compensation of Rs 10 lakh each will be paid to those injured.

The administration also agreed to file a case under the Indian Penal Code's Section 120 (conspiracy), while a retired high court judge will probe Sunday's violence.

Tikait also asked people to share videos of the incident, if any, saying "the Minister was soon to lose his post".

"The post-mortem examination of the deceased will be done by five doctors and it will be recorded. After that, their last rites will be held... till then, we will be here," he said, assuring the affected families that the Samyukt Morcha was with them.
