2 videos, 3 killings, 1 state-level shooter: How parking row turned deadly in Lucknow

According to reports, a dispute over car parking in Lucknow's Saadatganj area escalated into a triple murder on October 24. Two videos capturing the daylight incident surfaced on social media, showing a 29-year-old state-level shooter allegedly opening fire on three members of the same family. The footage depicts the armed accused pacing with a pistol and shouting claims of self-defence, while onlookers scramble and family members scream in panic.

The victims were identified in reports as Shambhu, Shiva Tiwari, and his son Suyash. Background voices in the footage alleged that the victims were beaten with sticks during the confrontation, while the accused claimed he had been assaulted with bricks. Investigators learned that both sides had begun recording videos of each other following a police suggestion to record clips if they felt threatened. The primary accused, noted in reports as a state-level trap shooting medallist who posted firearm content online, was taken into custody.

In response to the incident, authorities took action against properties linked to the accused. The Lucknow Development Authority sealed a house and demolished its boundary wall due to illegal construction, later removing encroachments on Nazul land after the victims' family demanded the demolition. Additionally, police arrested six individuals in connection with the killings, and two police personnel, including the local station house officer, were suspended.
