The Gujarat Anti Terror Squad (ATS) has arrested three people namely Shamim Pathan, Faizan Pathan and Mohsin Sheikh from Surat in connection with the murder of Hindu leader Kamlesh Tiwari, journalist Gaurav Sawant has reported.
As per Sawant, the arrested trio also included an Islamic cleric. The authorities are also said to have identified two shooters who executed the crime, they are currently on the run.
The police officials managed this breakthrough after scanning the faces of the two shooters which were matched with another footage recovered from a sweet shop in Surat.
A radical Islamist organisation which calls itself Al Hind Brigade has taken responsibility for the gruesome murder of Hindu leader Kamlesh Tiwari.
In a newly created channel on messaging platform Telegram, the radical Islamist group claims it committed the murder of Tiwari who tried to defame Muslims and Islam.
Media reports have claimed that an Islamic cleric named Anwar-ul-Haq who hails from Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor who in 2016 promised Rs 51 lakh for anyone who beheaded Kamlesh Tiwari has been detained and is being questioned. Police have clarified that he has not yet been arrested and investigation is underway.
Haq had infamously promised to pay Rs 51 lakh to anyone who beheaded the Hindu Mahasabha leader.
