Taraweeh, Tahajjud and Qiyam-ul-Layl

QUESTION: Imam in my masjid prayed witr after taraweeh, but then AGAIN a different imam prayed witr after praying qayaam ul layl at the same night. Is this wrong? Praying 2 witrs? And I heard that after witr we shouldn’t pray anything for the day. So what’s the complete ruling on witr? For Ramadan and in general? For Ramadan, I’m praying tahajjud after praying witr. Am I wrong?
