Three days after Apple executive Vivek Tiwari was shot dead by a Lucknow police constable, his wife Kalpana Tiwari Monday met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath who, she said, has assured of all forms of assistance to the family.

Kalpana was accompanied by her brother and her two daughters when she met the CM at his residence.

“The CM has provided us with assistance. I have full faith in the state government. I had lost all hopes but after meeting the CM today, I feel I can fulfil my responsibilities in the absence of my husband,” Kalpana told news agency ANI.

The 38-year-old Apple executive was shot dead early on Saturday by police constable Prashant Chaudhary after he allegedly tried to evade a routine check. Calling it “excessive use of force”, the Uttar Pradesh Police arrested two constables based on a complaint by Tiwari’s colleague, Sana Khan, who was in the car with him.

On Sunday, Kalpana filed a second FIR in the case claiming that police officials, who reached the spot, did not allow Sana, who was with him at the time of the shooting, from receiving or making calls. It also accused policemen of forcing Khan to sign on a blank paper.

A Special Investigation Team has been formed to investigate the case. On Sunday, a forensic team recreated the scene of the incident and inspected the two vehicles involved, Vivek’s SUV and the police motorcycle, and collected samples.
