Ahmedabad, October 22
Two men allegedly involved in the sensational killing of Hindu outfit leader Kamlesh Tiwari were arrested by the Gujarat ATS on Tuesday evening, said officials.
The accused, Surat residents Ashfaq Shaikh (34) and Moinuddin Pathan (27), were absconding since Tiwari’s killing in Lucknow on October 18, they said here.
They were arrested from near Shamlaji on the Gujarat-Rajasthan border when they were about to enter Gujarat on Tuesday evening, said Himanshu Shukla, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
Primary interrogation of the accused revealed that they had committed the crime “in retribution to the purported statements by Tiwari”, an ATS press release said.
Their location was traced through surveillance as they contacted their family and friends after running out of cash, Shukla said. — PTI
