  • Information

    What were the controversial remarks made by Tiwari?

  • The statement in question is a controversial remark made by Tiwari in 2015 wherein he said that Prophet Muhammad was a homosexual. He was charged under the National Security Act, however, the Allahabad High Court quashed the charges later.

  • Murder

    Two unidentified men attacked Tiwari at his home

  • For the uninitiated, this is what happened on Friday:

    Two unidentified men entered Tiwari's home and asked Hindu Samaj Party in-charge Swarashtra Deep Singh, who was present at the scene, to go out and buy cigarettes.

    The two men talked to Tiwari for 36 minutes over tea, indicating that they may have been known to Tiwari.

    They later shot him and slit his throat.

  • Information

  • The assailants were caught on CCTV carrying a bag of sweets, which is believed to have been used to disguise the pistol used in the attack. A pistol was recovered from the scene. The bag reportedly appeared to be from a confectionery shop in Surat.

    Tiwari's mother also demanded justice from the Adityanath government, saying that in previous governments, "no one could touch her son."

    She also accused BJP leader Shiv Kumar Gupta of the murder.
