Kamlesh Tiwari, Working president of Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) was murdered inside his house in Lucknow on Friday.
He was shot dead and also his throat was slit. His attackers came in Saffron clothes pretending to be Hindus.
Inspector General, Lucknow Range, SK Bhagat said, assailants were known to Tiwari because they stayed with him in the house for around half an hour. Police have recovered a pistol and a empty cartridge from the house. He said injury marks were found around Tiwari’s neck.
In 2015, Tiwari made headlines when he allegedly made objectionable remarks against Prophet Muhammad, which had created huge uproar and resulted in massive protests by Muslims across the country. He had also posted inflammatory comments on Facebook while reacting to protests by Muslims on his statement.
Tiwari was one of the appellants in the Supreme Court in the Ayodhya title suit case.
A native of Sitapur, Tiwari had also contested 2012 assembly election from Central Lucknow on the ticket of ABHM and lost.
