Bihar Police arrest STF jawan in Bharat Bhushan Tiwari 'fake encounter' probe — What was the case
Bihar Police arrested STF jawan Akshay in connection with the 'fake encounter' of Bharat Bhushan Tiwari in Bhojpur district.
Tiwari, 28, was killed on June 17 during a police standoff; police say he fired at officers, but a Facebook Live video showed him discarding his pistol.
An FIR was registered against Jagdishpur DSP, Shahpur SHO, and others; four police personnel including the SHO were suspended.
A judicial inquiry headed by a retired High Court judge was ordered, and a DIG is supervising the investigation.
Tiwari's mother, Asha Devi, had been on an indefinite hunger strike demanding arrests, including that of Akshay.
