October 02, 2018 12:05

The post-mortem report of Apple executive Vivek Tiwari, who was shot dead by policemen on September 29 in Lucknow, has revealed that he died due to a gunshot injury and not due to the accident.

The accused cop, in his defence, had claimed that Vivek died after his car collided with a pillar, a few metres away from the shooting spot, as he tried to escape.

The report also revealed the bullet was fired from the front at point-blank range.

Earlier, the woman colleague, who was in the car with Vivek at the time of the incident, had said that the cops shot at him point-blank through the car's windshield. The cops had, however, claimed that they shot at Vivek in self-defence as he was trying to reverse his car after trying to ram it into their bike.

Vivek Tiwari, an employee with multinational technology company Apple, was shot dead by policemen in Lucknow on Saturday. His killing has raised questions about the Yogi Adityanath-led UP government's ability to handle law and order situation in the state.
