Lucknow Triple Murder: A Brutal Daylight Attack

A horrifying video has emerged shedding light on the brutal daylight murders of three members of the Tiwari family in Lucknow's Saadatganj area. The incident, which unfolded on Monday morning around 10:30 AM, has left the local community in deep shock and triggered widespread calls for justice.

According to local authorities and investigations led by Daily News 365 correspondents, the violence erupted following a heated argument between two groups over parking a car on a vacant plot. The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Shukla—a former navigation officer in the merchant navy—allegedly opened fire in broad daylight while onlookers watched and recorded the scene.

The Sequence of Events

Newly emerged footage from the scene captures the chilling speed and precision of the attack. Within a span of approximately 22 seconds, the suspect fired five rounds from a pistol. The video shows Shukla initially firing two shots, pausing briefly to reload his weapon, and then discharging three additional rounds.

During the recording, the suspect can be heard shouting defensively, claiming he was assaulted with a brick prior to resorting to gunfire ("Mujhe gummo se maara hai, tab goli maari hai maine").

的三 victims—identified as Shivaji Tiwari (62), Shivendra Tiwari (55), and Suyash Tiwari (30)—sustained critical gunshot wounds. They were rushed to the King George's Medical University (KGMU) Trauma Centre, where they ultimately succumbed to their injuries.

Police Action and Accountability

Lucknow Police acted swiftly at the scene, detaining Shukla immediately and later formally arresting him. Investigators recovered the murder weapon along with four empty cartridges from his possession.

An official First Information Report (FIR) was registered based on a complaint filed by Ruchi Tiwari, wife of Shivendra Tiwari. The comprehensive case names eight individuals facing serious charges, including murder and rioting.

In response to the gravity of the incident and potential lapses in local policing, Lucknow Police Commissioner Tarun Gauba ordered the immediate suspension of Saadatganj station house officer (SHO) Santosh Kumar Arya and Kashmiri Mohalla outpost in-charge Ajay Kumar Chaurasia.

Community Outcry

One of the deceased victims was reportedly a district office-bearer for the RSS in Lucknow, drawing high-profile attention to the tragedy. Several political leaders, including figures from the BJP and local RSS affiliates, visited the grieving families to offer condolences. Meanwhile, local residents and relatives have staged demonstrations demanding swift and stringent justice for the victims.
