Yogi meets Vivek Tiwari’s family

Lucknow: The family of a tech company executive, shot dead by a policeman in the Gomti Nagar area here, met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday and said that they “have faith” in the state government.
“I have said earlier that I have faith in the state government. This faith has been strengthened after meeting the CM. I have lost capacity to take a stand after the unfortunate incident, which should not have happened. It has shaken me. After meeting the CM, I have gained confidence that I will be able to fulfil the responsibilities my husband left on me,” said Kalpana Tiwari, the wife of Vivek Tiwari (38).
The executive was shot dead on September 29 when he allegedly refused to stop his car. “All my demands have been met. I wanted strict action against the guilty, a job, accommodation, expenses for education of my daughters and my mother-in-law. The CM acceded to all my demands,” she told reporters.
The chief minister assured family of all the possible help and also met the two daughters and consoled the family promising strict action against the guilty.
“The family is satisfied with the action taken. We will be giving all possible help to the victim’s family including a job to Kalpana as per her educational qualifications. A relief amount of Rs 25 lakh, two fixed deposits of Rs 5 lakh each in the name two daughters of the victim and a Rs 5 lakh FD for mother-in-law has been approved by the CM,” Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma told PTI.
