AMaulana had purportedly told one of the two prime accused in the Kamlesh Tiwari murder case that the murder of the Hindu Samaj Party chief was justified. The Maulana, also arrested in connection with the case, had allegedly told a prime accused that it was okay to kill Kamlesh Tiwari. According to police, the accused killed Kamlesh Tiwari after he commented on Prophet Mohammed.

Maulana Mohsin Shaikh was arrested earlier in a joint operation by Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Uttar Pradesh Police along with Faizan and Rashid Pathan from Surat, Gujarat in connection with the murder case.

Gujarat ATS on Tuesday nabbed prime accused in the case Ashfaq Hussain and Moinuddin Khurshid Pathan near Shamlaji at the Gujarat-Rajasthan border.

The key accused had been planning Kamlesh Tiwari's murder since 2015. For that, they had met Maulana.

According to Gujarat ATS chief Himanshu Shukla, Moinuddin Khurshid Pathan when arrested had bruised fingers. During his investigation, it was revealed that his fingers got bruised in the commotion while killing Kamlesh Tiwari.

Moinuddin Khurshid Pathan told the ATS that when Ashfaq Hussain took the knife out to slit Kamlesh Tiwari's throat, Hindu Samaj Party leader Kamlesh Tiwari shouted for help. Ashfaq Hussain tried to smother him and attacked him with the knife. Moinuddin Khurshid Pathan said that Ashfaq Hussain then took out a gun and fired. The bullet missed Kamlesh Tiwari and instead hurt Moinuddin Khurshid Pathan's fingers.

Apart from two prime accused and three additional suspects arrested by the Gujarat ATS, Maharashtra ATS also arrested Sayyed Asim Ali from Nagpur on Monday.
