Vivek Tiwari Killing: Family meets CM Yogi Adityanath, wife promised govt job - 10 latest developments

The family of an Apple executive who shot dead by a Uttar Pradesh policeman in Lucknow on Saturday met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday and said that they "have faith" in the state government.

38-year-old Vivek Tiwari, the Area Sales Manager of Apple, was shot dead early Saturday morning by a policeman when he allegedly refused to stop his car. 

Two constables -- Prashant Chowdhury and Sandeep Kumar -- have been arrested on the basis of an FIR lodged by Tiwari's colleague Sana Khan, who was travelling with him at the time of the incident. The two accused have also been dismissed from the service.

Here are 10 latest developments in the case: 

1. Kalpana Tiwari, the wife of Vivek Tiwari, met CM Yogi and deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma on Monday morning. 

2. "I have said earlier that I have faith in the state government. This faith has been strengthened after meeting the CM. I have lost capacity to take a stand after the unfortunate incident, which should not have happened. It has shaken me. After meeting the CM, I have gained confidence that I will be able to fulfil the responsibilities my husband left on me," Kalpana said after the meeting

3. The chief minister assured family of all the possible help and also met the two daughters and consoled the family promising strict action against the guilty. "All my demands have been met. I wanted strict action against the guilty, a job, accommodation, expenses for education of my daughters and my mother-in-law. The CM acceded to all my demands," Kalpana Tiwari said. 

4. Earlier, Sharma reached Tiwari's residence on Monday morning and took along with him Vivek's wife, brother-in-law and two daughters to the 5 Kalidas Marg residence of Adityanath for a meeting.

5. "The family is satisfied with the action taken. We will be giving all possible help to the victim's family including a job to Kalpana as per her educational qualifications. A relief amount of Rs 25 lakh, two fixed deposits of Rs 5 lakh each in the name two daughters of the victim and a Rs 5 lakh FD for mother-in-law has been approved by the CM," Sharma said.

6. "I was in touch with the family members, who are known to us, and met them Sunday after arriving in Lucknow. The family members had been in BJP too in the past and they did not want politics in the matter," Sharma said. The family wanted strict action, which has already been taken as the two accused were arrested and dismissed from service, he said.

7. Kalpana Tiwari filed a fresh FIR on Sunday after the first FIR filed by Khan did not contain the names of the accused constables. The FIR alleges that constable Prashant Chowdhury put the nozzle of the pistol on the windshield of the SUV and fired it with the intention to kill Tiwari. 

8. UP minister Brijesh Pathak on Sunday hit out at the state police for showing "laxity" and "hushing up" the murder of Vivek Tiwari. 

9. His body was Sunday cremated at Bhaisakund in the presence of state minister Brijesh Pathak and local MLA Ashutosh Tandon and others.

10. Two constables -- Prashant Chowdhury and Sandeep Kumar - have been arrested and dismissed from the service.
