Uttar Pradesh police chief O P Singh condemned the shooting Saturday in Lucknow in which a tech company executive was killed when he allegedly refused to stop his car for checking by two policemen. Apple executive Vivek Tiwari, travelling with his colleague Sana Khan, was shot dead early Saturday morning in Lucknow's posh Gomti Nagar neighbourhood.

He said the shooting in Lucknow was a criminal case and added that no policeman is permitted to gun down anybody. He asserted that the two constables will be dismissed from service. He said the constables who were on a bike intercepted the car of Tiwari (38) for checking, but he did not stop and tried to ram the car into their bike. Constable Prashant chaudhary claimed he had fired in self defence.
