Tiwari case: Wife blamed maulanas, mother accuses BJP leader

NEW DELHI: The case of former Hindu Mahasabha leader has again taken a new turn after the deceased mother accused BJP leader of her son’s death.

In a conversation with News18, Kamlesh Tiwari’s mother held responsible Shiv Kumar Gupta, a leader of BJP for his death.

She said, “It is Shiv Kumar Gupta, a leader of Bharatiya Janata Party. Nobody asked me anything in Lucknow, all I was asked is what I want. To this I replied that I just want the dead body of my son. I will not spare anyone even if I get killed for it. I requested the police to call Gupta and question him but my request was not heeded to. Shiv Kumar Gupta lives in Thatheri and is a mafia who has over 500 cases against him. He had taken over as the president of local temple and killed my son over a dispute regarding construction of the structure.”

Earlier, Lucknow police has registered an FIR against two Maulanas from Bijnor on the basis of the complaint filed by Tiwari’s wife.
