A team of Gujarat Anti Terrorists Squad (ATS) has on October 22 arrested two alleged assailants of Hindu Samaj Party leader, Kamlesh Tiwari. The perpetrators had allegedly killed the Hindu Samaj Party leader by slitting his throat and pumping bullets in his body have been arrested.
The officials revealed that both were on the run ever since and were trying to sneak into either Pakistan or Nepal. “Ashfaq Sheikh and Moinuddin Pathan have been arrested from Shamlaji near Gujarat-Rajasthan border,’’ said Gujarat ATS DIG Himanshu Shukla.
Both
are said to be the residents of Surat and were absconding. The ATS on October
19 had arrested three accused in the case. Those arrested included Ashfaq’s
younger brother Rasheed, Faizan Sheikh and Maulana Mohsin.
However,
the Gujarat ATS top officials has ruled out any larger conspiracy maintaining
that motive behind the murder was to avenge remarks made by Tiwari against
Prophet Mohmmad.
As
per the investigation report the conspiracy and execution happened between the
accused whose names have been cropped up so far and there does seem to be any
larger conspiracy,’’ said a top official.
“While
Mohsin is resident of Umarwada, the other three reside in Limbayat area.
Rasheed had just returned from Dubai, where he had worked as a computer
engineer, only two months back”, the officials revealed.
The
two were arrested on the day when the UP police also arrived in Surat for
investigation. The sweets box, which was used by Ashfaq and Moinuddin to
conceal the knife used to slit Tiwari’s throat, was of a shop in Surat. The box
helped the investigators trace the accused.
