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.

Sujit Nair raises concerns over speculation of DMK-AIADMK understanding to block TVK
Chennai: Journalist and political commentator Sujit Nair has expressed concern over speculation that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam could explore a post-poll understanding to prevent Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam from forming the government in Tamil Nadu.
In a social media post, Sujit Nair said the election verdict in Tamil Nadu reflected a clear public demand for political change and argued that the mandate should be respected irrespective of political preferences.
Referring to reports and political discussions surrounding a possible understanding between the DMK and AIADMK, he said he hoped such developments remained only speculative conversations and did not turn into reality.
Nair stated that if such an alliance were to take shape, it would raise serious questions about ideological politics in the country. He said TVK had emerged through a democratic electoral process and that the legitimacy to govern in a parliamentary democracy comes from the people’s verdict.
According to him, attempts to prevent an electoral winner from forming the government through unexpected political arrangements may be constitutionally valid, but many people could view them as politically opportunistic.
He further said that such a move could particularly affect the political image of the DMK, which has historically projected itself around ideology, social justice and opposition politics. Nair said that in ideological terms, the DMK appeared closer to TVK than to the AIADMK, and joining hands with its long-time political rival only to remain in power could weaken its broader political narrative.
He added that the same questions would apply to the AIADMK as well, as the party had spent decades positioning itself against the DMK and such an arrangement could create discomfort among its cadre and supporters.
Drawing a comparison with Maharashtra politics in 2019, Nair said he had expressed similar views when the Shiv Sena formed an alliance with the Indian National Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party after the Assembly elections.
He said post-poll alliances between long-standing political rivals often create a public perception that ideology and electoral mandates become secondary when political power equations come into play.
Nair also said such developments increase public cynicism towards politics and reinforce the belief among voters that ideology is often sidelined after elections.
He maintained that the Tamil Nadu verdict was emphatic and said respecting both the spirit and substance of the mandate was important for the credibility of democratic politics.
