New Delhi: The colleague accompanying Apple sales manager Vivek Tiwari in Lucknow on Saturday morning confirmed that a Uttar Pradesh Police constable killed the 38-year-old in clod blood as he refused to stop his car.
Narrating the incident, eyewitness Sana Khan said, “The car, in which we were sitting, was moving slowly. It was not parked. The two police constables came and asked us to stop. But, Vivek sir didn’t stop thinking it is dark outside and a girl was also present. Next, the police bike and our car’s front tyre collided.”
“One police constable, who was carrying a stick started hitting on my side of the car. The other one shot him. He kept driving and hit a pillar. I couldn’t see the policemen after that,” Khan added.
The statement of #VivekTiwari’s colleague Sana, an eyewitness and co-passenger, exposes claims of @Uppolice that the Apple executive did not stop the car.
