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.
