A tech executive from Apple was shot dead early Saturday morning by a policeman in Lucknow when he allegedly refused to stop his car for checking in Lucknow's posh Gomti Nagar neighbourhood, police said. Two constables were arrested on the basis of an FIR lodged by Apple executive Vivek Tiwari's colleague Sana Khan, who was travelling with him. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh asked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to take "effective" action based on law in the case.

The opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh demanded Adityanath's resignation. Hours after the 1.30 a.m. shooting, Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police O P Singh called it a criminal act and said the two constables will be dismissed from service.
