Lucknow, October 23
The body of Hindu outfit leader Kamlesh Tiwari, who was killed last week, bore 15 stab wounds and a bullet injury, according to a post-mortem report.
Tiwari, 45, was shot once on his face and the bullet was found stuck below his chin. He also had multiple injuries on his face and neck. “Fifteen cuts and stab wounds were found on his body during the post-mortem examination, which shows the brutality of the crime,” a police officer said on Wednesday. Experts say it appears that the assailants first opened fire on Tiwari and then attacked him with a knife or some pointed weapon.
The Hindu Samaj Party leader was found dead at his residence in the Naka Hindola area of Lucknow on Friday. The post-mortem report says two knife stab wounds were found on the right side of the chest and seven on the left. There was a deep wound on the neck and the back. Two injury marks were found on the left shoulder and one on the right.
The police have already recovered the pistol and the knife allegedly used by suspects Ashfaq Sheikh (34) and Moinuddin (27), who were arrested by the Gujarat ATS on Tuesday evening. They had been absconding since murdering Tiwari at his office-cum-residence. Their escape was captured in the CCTV cameras near the crime scene in Khurshid Bagh in Lucknow on October 18. — PTI
