After the Udaipur incident, the wife of slain Hindu Samaj Party chief Kamlesh Tiwari has alleged that she received an anonymous letter threatening to kill her.
After the murder of a tailor in broad daylight in Rajasthan’s Udaipur, the wife of slain Hindu Samaj Party chief Kamlesh Tiwari has alleged that she received an anonymous letter threatening to kill her.
Kiran Tiwari said she discovered the threat letter, delivered in a white envelope, inside her Lucknow home on June 22. It was written in Urdu.
Significantly, the letter also had black and white photos of several people, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The photos had big X marks on them, with the word “target” written by hand next to them.
Police said they have received a complaint and are investigating the matter.
Kamlesh Tiwari, the president of little-known right-wing outfit Hindu Samaj Party, was shot before his throat was slit in Lucknow on October 18, 2018. The incident happened in his office in the Uttar Pradesh capital. The assailants came to meet him on the pretext of working for his outfit.
Tiwari made headlines in December 2015 after making objectionable remarks about Prophet Muhammad. His utterances led to protests by various Muslim groups at many places, with some of the protesting outfits calling for his head. Protesters at Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh and Tonk in Rajasthan demanded that Kamlesh Tiwari "should be beheaded".
