Vivek Tiwari case: Fake, sleazy photo circulated to malign Tiwari and eye-witness colleague
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.

Trump pauses Project Freedom, claims great progress for final agreement with Iran
Washington (PTI): President Donald Trump has suspended “Project Freedom,” to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, claiming progress in negotiations with Iran toward an agreement to end the war.
In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump said, “Great progress has been made toward a complete and final agreement with representatives of Iran.”
“Based on the request of Pakistan and other Countries, the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally, the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed," Trump said.
Project Freedom was launched on Monday to escort ships, stranded due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, out to safety. Trump had announced the operation on Sunday and the US Central Command began implementing it the next day.
However, the Project led to friction in the vicinity of the narrow seaway, a key route for transporting one-fifth of the global oil supplies, with the UAE claiming that its ships were attacked by Iran. The US also claimed to have destroyed several Iranian small boats.
Trump’s statement on Truth Social came hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Operation Epic Fury, launched on February 28, had concluded as its objectives have been achieved.
"Operation Epic Fury is concluded. We achieved the objectives of that operation. We're not cheering for an additional situation to occur. We would prefer the path of peace. What @POTUS would prefer is a deal... that is, so far, not the route that Iran has chosen," Rubio told a press conference at the White House on Tuesday.
On Project Freedom, Rubio said the goal was to rescue almost 23,000 civilians from 87 different countries who were trapped inside the Persian Gulf and left for dead by the Iranian regime.
"This is not an offensive operation. This is a defensive operation, and what that means is very simple: there’s no shooting unless we're shot at first. We’re not attacking them, but if they're attacking us or they’re attacking a ship, you need to respond to that," Rubio said.
