Sultanpur: Vijay Narayan Singh, the main accused in the Dr Ghanshyam Tiwari murder case, was shot dead in Uttar Pradesh’s Sultanpur district late on Sunday evening. He was out on bail.

Sharing further details, the police said that another youth was also injured in the incident. While he has been admitted to a hospital, his condition is said to be critical and has been referred to Lucknow.

“Singh was partying during which he had an argument with a person over some issue. The accused then opened fire at Vijay Narayan Singh, leading to the latter’s death on the spot. The body has been sent for postmortem,” Superintendent of Police Somen Verma said.

He added, “A team of six police personnel has been formed to investigate the matter. The police is also going through the footage of the incident. One person has been arrested in the case so far.”

Earlier on September 2023, Dr Ghanshyam Tiwari, who was working at a health centre in Sultanpur, was allegedly thrashed to death by Singh and his men over a land dispute. Tripathi had reportedly purchased a land parcel from Ajay, a family member of Singh. The accused was allegedly asking for more money and was reportedly reluctant to give possession of the land to the doctor, the police had said.

The post-mortem report of Tewari had revealed that he was beaten with rods and canes due to which he suffered five fractures in his hands and leg. Apart from these, a deep injury was also found in his feet.
