Three members of a family killed in shooting in Lucknow
Three members of one family were killed in a shooting in Lucknow’s Saadatganj area on Monday.
Police say the victims were Shivaji Tiwari, his brother Shivendra and Shivaji’s son Suyash.
The dispute involved parking a car near a raised platform built beneath a banyan tree, though accounts differ on how the confrontation unfolded.
Police detained neighbour Rishabh Shukla and said they recovered a pistol and four spent cartridges.
The family said the argument over the platform had reached the police about a month and a half earlier, and work had stopped.
Suyash was due to marry in December, according to one account, leaving the family’s wedding preparations in mourning.
Police have registered a case, are questioning the detained suspect and are investigating; officers have been deployed near the family’s home.
