Sansani: All about Vivek Tiwari's death

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.
