Lucknow Triple Murder: 4000 Sq Ft House Demolished

The Lucknow Development Authority, supported by police personnel and administrative officials, carried out a demolition drive at the property of Rishabh Shukla in the Saadatganj area of Lucknow on Thursday. Shukla is an accused in the October 26 triple murder case that sent shockwaves through the locality. The nearly 4,000-square-foot property was brought down amid heavy police deployment and the presence of senior administrative officials, including LDA Additional Secretary Gyanendra Verma. Authorities from the electricity department and police were also deployed to maintain security during the operation.

According to police records, the violent confrontation took place at around 10.30 am on October 26 following a dispute between two groups over parking a vehicle on a vacant plot. During the altercation, 30-year-old Rishabh Shukla allegedly opened fire on three men. Video footage that later surfaced on October 29 purportedly showed the shooter opening fire five times within approximately 22 seconds during the confrontation, drawing widespread attention to the brutal incident.

The victims of the shooting were identified as Shivaji Tiwari, 62, Shivendra Tiwari, 55, and Suyash Tiwari, 30. All three men were rushed to the King George’s Medical University Trauma Centre for treatment, where they subsequently succumbed to their injuries. Police noted that Shukla had previously worked as a navigation officer in the merchant navy before the tragic events unfolded.
