Lucknow Court Convicts Cop in 2018 Killing of Apple Executive Vivek Tiwari
A Lucknow court convicted constable Prashant Chaudhary of culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the 2018 killing of Apple executive Vivek Tiwari, acquitting his colleague Sandeep Kumar due to insufficient evidence. The incident occurred during a police attempt to stop Tiwari's vehicle, leading to Chaudhary firing a shot that caused Tiwari's death after his car hit a divider. The court found no prior intent to kill, ruling the act happened amid a sudden confrontation. Sentencing is scheduled for September 21.
