The constable said he opened fire at Vivek Tiwari in self-defence.

Vivek Tiwari was admitted to the hospital at 2:05 am on Saturday and died within 20 minutes. Police informed his wife about his death at around 3 am.

The Yogi Adityanath government is under severe criticism from the opposition over Vivek Tiwari's killing. The constable who opened fire at him claims he did so in dself-defence. But the state government came under attack from one of its own ministers - Om Prakash Rajbhar - who accused the police of trying to "cover up" the matter and claimed law and order in Uttar Pradesh was reduced to a 'joke'.

Uttar Pradesh police chief OP Singh had apologised about the incident and vowed to wean out "rogues in uniform" who bring dishonour to the force.

Two constables, Prashant Chowdhury and Sandeep Kumar, were arrested on Saturday after a complaint by Mr Tiwari's colleague who was travelling with him. The two were sacked soon after.
