New Delhi: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday stirred another controversy over the shooting of Apple employee Vivek Tiwari in Lucknow. Kejriwal lashed out at BJP from his official Twitter handle and asked even though Vivek Tiwari was a Hindu why was he killed? He wrote the tweet in Hindi asking why was Vivek Tiwari killed despite the fact that he was Hindu. BJP leaders rape women and roam freely in the country. He further asked people to remove the veil from their eyes and see the truth. He said that BJP is not the protector of Hindus and even if they  (BJP) have to kill all the Hindus for remaining in power, they won’t even think for two minutes. Replying to one of the comments Kejriwal said: Even though Vivek Tiwari was a Hindu. BJP does not protect the interests of Hindus. Here is what the AAP leader tweeted:

विवेक तिवारी तो हिंदू था? फिर उसको इन्होंने क्यों मारा? भाजपा के नेता पूरे देश में हिंदू लड़कियों का रेप करते घूमते हैं?

अपनी आँखों से पर्दा हटाइए। भाजपा हिंदुओं की हितैषी नहीं है। सत्ता पाने के लिए अगर इन्हें सारे हिंदुओं का क़त्ल करना पड़े तो ये दो मिनट नहीं सोचेंगे https://t.co/A2LhxrVNpv — Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) September 30, 2018

Vivek Tiwari a 38 -year-old Apple executive was shot dead by a UP Police constable on wee hours of Saturday in Lucknow. The incident took place near Gomti Nagar extension at around 1.30 a.m. when Tiwari was heading home after the launch of iPhone X plus along with his colleague Sana Khan. Senior Superintendent of Police Kalanidhi Naithani said the two policemen on patrol duty had asked Tiwari to stop the SUV, which had hit their motorcycle and injured them. Constable Prashant Chaudhary noticed "suspicious activity" and opened fire when the man allegedly tried to speed away. A bullet pierced the windscreen as the car rammed into a pillar, police said. Sana Khan told reporters that the constables came from the front on their motorcycle, and tried to force Tiwari to stop. "Sir did not stop the car and when we tried to move ahead, it hit the motorcycle, she said. But the constables had got down by then, she added, saying one of them then opened fire. Two constables were arrested on the basis of an FIR lodged by Sana Khan. Accused constable Prashant Chaudhary who opened fire however has claimed innocence. He had said he opened fire in self-defence when Tiwari tried to run him over, according to police.
