Mumbai: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday met the family of Kamlesh Tiwari, the head of a small Hindu organization, who was murdered two days ago.
Tiwari’s mother, his wife and three sons spent around 30 minutes with the Chief Minister at his government residence here.
Kiran Tiwari, wife of Kamlesh Tiwari, after meeting UP CM Yogi Adityanath, in Lucknow: “He (UP CM) assured us that justice will be done. We demanded capital punishment for the murderers. He assured us that they will be punished.”
Describing the murder as a “trick to create terror”, Adityanath said on Saturday that the culprits would not be spared.
“Five people have been detained in this case. Three of them have been detained in Gujarat and two in Uttar Pradesh. A special investigation team has been formed to investigate this,” he said.
“Elements that create an atmosphere of fear and terror in the state will be dealt with vigorously and their plans will be crushed. Such an incident will not be tolerated and the people involved will not be spared,” he said.
Tiwari (45), the head of the Hindu Samaj Party belonging to a section of the Hindu Mahasabha, was assassinated on Friday at his house in Khurshed Bagh.
His cremation was delayed as his family members were adamant on fulfilling his nine demands from the chief minister, including an investigation by the National Investigation Agency, a government job for the victim’s sons and security.
