Lucknow: Eight years after a 38-year-old Apple area sales manager Vivek Tiwari was allegedly shot dead by two cops in Lucknow, a local court on Thursday convicted constable Prashant Chaudhary of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, while acquitting co-accused constable Sandeep Kumar . The quantum of punishment will be announced on Sept 21. District/sessions judge Malkhan Singh held Prashant Chaudhary guilty under the charges of IPC 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder). As per police chargesheet, Prashant was accused of IPC 302 (murder) and co-accused Sandeep of IPC 323 (voluntarily causing hurt). Vivek’s daughters, aged 15 and 20, still go numb on the mention of his tragic demise. Divyanshi, who was just 7 at the time of incident, had initially been told that her dad was away in Delhi and would return soon.
Kalpana Tiwari expressed strong dissatisfaction with the verdict and said she would challenge it before a higher court. Speaking after the judgment, she described the decision as disappointing and said the family had expected a harsher punishment. But we are disappointed with the verdict,” Kalpana said, according to the report.
The bullet hit Vivek and he rammed the vehicle on a divider. The two cops fled. Sana sought help from the police control room and took Vivek to Lohia Hospital where he died during treatment. But now the teen girl knows the reality. Priyanshi tries to console her younger sibling every time she breaks down. Divyanshi’s favourite possession is a family drawing she made years ago depicting Vivek, Kalpana, Priyanshi, and herself. “We had been waiting for the court’s decision since morning and hoped that justice would be delivered. She questioned how a trained police constable could have made a mistake while firing his service weapon and maintained that her husband had been shot dead. Kalpana also questioned Sandeep Kumar’s acquittal, saying both constables were present at the spot and, in her view, shared responsibility for the incident.
Pranshu Agarwal, who represented Vivek Tiwar’s family, told TOI they will go through the detailed judgement and then file an appeal in the high court. “We are awaiting for the judgement copy in the case and also pronouncement of judgement on Sep 21,” said Agarwal.
