New Delhi/IBNS: Hindu Samaj Party leader Kamlesh Tiwari, who was murdered at his home in Lucknow on Friday, was stabbed 15 times and shot in the face, the post-mortem report claimed as per media reports.

Two deep wounds have been found in Tiwari's neck.

A bullet was found in the back of Tiwari's skull but the bullet had entered on the left side of his face.

Two suspected people were arrested on Tuesday by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism squad from the Gujarat-Rajasthan border.

The two arrested people were identified as Ashfaq Hussain Sheikh and Moinuddin Pathan.

“Ashfaq Sheikh and Moinuddin Pathan have been arrested from Shamlaji near Gujarat-Rajasthan border,’’ Gujarat ATS DIG Himanshu Shukla was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) took a Muslim cleric from Bareilly into custody on Tuesday in connection with the murder of the HSP leader.

He will now be questioned in Lucknow.

According to police sources, an ATS team from Lucknow took Maulana Kaifi Ali Rizvi into custody at around 0100 hrs.

Sources told UNI news agency that he is a resident of Premnagar, who reportedly helped those who attacked Tiwari.

The team has taken the Maulana to Lucknow, early this morning. The accused who attacked Tiwari, had stopped at Maulana Kaifi Ali Rizvi's house on Friday night.

In view of the locations of the accused changing from Lucknow to Shahjahanpur, Bareilly, Moradabad and then to Ambala, police teams are extremely active.
