Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak and UP BJP vice-president Neeraj Singh at the funeral of the three Tiwari family members killed in Saadatganj
On Monday, Shivaji Tiwari (62), Shivendra Tiwari (55) and Suyash Tiwari (30) were shot dead in Brahmani Tola, Naubasta, after an argument over parking a car on vacant land, police said.
After the talks, the family said its demands were met and prepared to take the bodies to Gulala Ghat for cremation. The announcements came after four to five hours of discussions with the victims’ family, senior Lucknow police officers, district administration officials and the mayor, amid heavy security deployment as the kin pressed multiple demands before agreeing to the cremation. Deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak reached the family along with BJP state vice-president Neeraj Singh, Mayor Sushma Kharkwal, commissioner of police Tarun Gauba and district magistrate Vishakh G, and held a meeting with relatives of the deceased. Accused Rishabh Shukla was detained at the spot. Police later booked eight people: Rajesh Shukla alias Tunnu Babu, Rishabh Shukla, Girish Shukla, Dinesh Shukla, Munna Babu, Divya, Priya and Aditi.
Pathak also said the govt would provide lifetime security to the family and initiate action under the National Security Act (NSA) against all the accused. Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh govt on Tuesday announced a package of assurances for the family of three men shot dead in the Saadatganj area following a parking dispute a day earlier, including a govt job for the bereaved wife, free education for a daughter and lifetime security for the surviving relatives.
He added that the state would move to have the case heard in a fast-track court and that illegal constructions would be removed.
