Uttar Pradesh, Oct 08: The death of Vivek Tiwari, a sales executive who was gunned down by a police constable in Lucknow on September 29 has led to massive outrage. The opposition has aggressively targeted the Yogi Adityanath led government over the killing, while the state government has sought to stem the damage.

On social media, the incident has been followed widely and discussed animatedly. Now, a photograph is being shared widely on social media showing a woman and a man in an intimate position. The claim here is that the man in the photograph is none other than Vivek Tiwari, and the woman seen along with him is Sana Khan, his colleague who was present in the car when Tiwari was shot dead.

A Facebook post by a user, Ankit Ambedkar has already been shared over a thousand times. Numerous individual users too have shared this photograph claiming it is Vivek Tiwari and Sana Khan, with the insinuation of justifying the killing of Tiwari by U.P police. Khan is the lone eye-witness in the case.

Photo not of Tiwari and Khan

The message circulating on social media about Vivek Tiwari and Sana Khan is false, and so is the photograph accompanying it. The persons seen in the picture are not Tiwari and Khan. Alt News did a reverse image search of this photograph and came across several links to different websites which had this image.

Alt News found that this particular photograph has been posted on numerous sleazy websites. Most of these websites had posted it earlier this year. It may be reiterated that the man and the woman in the photograph are NOT Vivek Tiwari and Sana Khan.

Recently, a campaign on Facebook in favour of the accused constable in this case generated a sum of Rs. 5 lakh. Now, a smear campaign has been unleashed on Tiwari and Khan by circulating a sleazy photograph. Social media users are advised to be highly circumspect with regard to such claims which seek to malign reputations in such a diabolical manner.

Karnataka issues nutrition advisory for govt events; recommends millets, healthier options

13-04-2026 ¦ 13-04-2026 IST

Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka government on Monday issued a nutrition advisory recommending healthier food and beverage options at meetings, functions, and other official gatherings held in the state.

The advisory has been issued by the Department of Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Services to promote healthy dietary and nutritional habits among officials and staff, noting that food, refreshments and beverages served in government offices and official programmes are "often not aligned with nutrition standards."

The advisory recommends serving snacks such as millet-based, low-fat and low-sugar foods, fresh fruits, vegetable salads, sprouts, roasted nuts and seeds during in-house office meetings and breaks.

Beverages such as green tea, low-fat buttermilk, and locally filtered or boiled water served in glass bottles or steel flasks have also been suggested.

According to the advisory, for larger government events, conferences and exhibitions, departments have been advised to include at least one millet-based item during snacks and a minimum of two millet dishes in meals, along with local cuisine and at least one regional recipe.

It also recommends the use of brown rice instead of white rice, freshly prepared vegetable salads, and fresh fruits or low-sugar fruit juices.

If non-vegetarian food is served, it should consist of well-cooked lean or white meat, the advisory stated.

In eateries operating within government office campuses, the department has recommended millet-based foods, fresh vegetable salads, boiled pulses such as horse gram or chickpeas, and low-fat beverages.

It suggests serving food using reusable metal plates and glasses.

The advisory also recommends avoiding microwave-heated food, industrially processed food, fried snacks, high-fat or heavily spiced dishes, carbonated drinks, high-sugar fruit juices, and alcoholic beverages.

It further discourages serving milk-based tea or coffee and plastic-bottled water during official events.

“Overall, hygiene and cleanliness should be maintained while serving food and water. Local cottage industries, self-help groups, prison kitchens, nutri-gardens and others should be preferred for placing food and beverage orders,” the advisory added.
