Realtor shoots hotel staff dead over remarks against girlfriend
The accused, Akash Tiwari (23), and his girlfriend, Pushpa Gautam alias Payal (26), have been arrested.
Police said Pushpa, a native of Gorakhpur, was staying at the inn with another woman since July 16. She works in event management and lives in Vikas Khand. The hotel is co-owned by Uday Sen Yadav of Sultanpur and Devendra Mishra of Barabanki, with Uday's cousin, Diwakar Yadav (21), managing daily operations.
Chinhat inspector, Dinesh Chandra Mishra said Pushpa, while talking on her phone, stepped out of her room around midnight.
Diwakar and a few staff allegedly made inappropriate remarks, leading to a heated argument. Pushpa later left the hotel on a bike with Akash, a property dealer from Ayodhya's Gosaiganj area, currently residing in Vishnu Vihar colony, Matiyari.
DCP East, Shashank Singh said that during their ride, Pushpa narrated the incident to Akash. He dropped her on the way, returned to the hotel. He confronted Diwakar and opened fire at him.

The couple was later arrested in Chinhat. Police said Akash already has two criminal cases, including charges of assault and illegal firearms. "Both have been taken into custody, and the weapon used in the crime is being traced. Akash will be booked under the Arms Act as well," Singh said.
Diwakar's family reached Lucknow at the post-mortem house. His younger brother, Prabhakar said that Diwakar came to Lucknow four months ago. The deceased's father, Satish Kumar Yadav said that his son left home saying he was going to work in Lucknow.
"We were not aware that Diwakar was working in a hotel," the family said, adding, "Last night, our nephew called informing us there had been a scuffle and everyone was at the police station. When we reached Lucknow, we learned about the murder."

Trump to prosecute Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey? US President reiterates explosive warning
US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé of taking millions of dollars from Democrats during the 2024 election in return for their endorsements. He has also declared that former Vice President Kamala Harris be prosecuted along with Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey and Al Sharpton, according to US media reports. Trump said that he was "looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats," claiming that the two A-listers had received $14 million from the party between them. Trump to prosecute Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce? The accusation follows a week of Trump's renewed interest in the Democrats' spending during the 2024 campaign. On Monday, Trump claimed that Beyoncé had been paid $11 million "to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off" without doing any kind of musical performance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Moose Approaches Girl At Bus Stop In Laguna - Watch What Happens Happy in Shape Undo 'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election,' Trump began on Truth Social Saturday.

The payment was made on November 19, weeks after Beyoncé endorsed Harris at a rally in Houston.

Harris' team also sent $500,000 to Sharpton's National Action Network, according to New York Post.

Trump has peddled similar claims in the past. Last December, he alleged the Harris campaign paid the three for an endorsement, but cited slightly different figures. That time, he claimed Democrats sent '$11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al.'

In May, Trump revisited the accusations as well, publicly asking how much the Harris campaign paid Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Winfrey and Beyonce. The Harris campaign previously addressed questions about the payments made to Beyonce's production company and denied paying for an endorsement. Beyonce's mother has also publicly denied reports that her daughter was paid up to $11 million to speak at the Harris rally. Winfrey has also previously insisted she 'was not paid a dime' to participate in the event with Harris, but instead had production fees covered by the campaign. The White House has not yet confirmed if it will be pursuing any legal action against the Democrats or the Harris campaign.
