Last year, Sayyad Asim Ali had posted a video on YouTube threatening Kamlesh Tiwari that he will be killed if he makes a film on Prophet Muhammad, Rangeela Rasul.
Earlier today, UP DGP OP Singh had informed in a press conference that the three suspects and the two killers were all radicalised and they had planned Tiwari's murder.
Gujarat ATS has arrested 3 persons, named Shamim Pathan, Faizan Pathan and Mohsin Sheikh in connection to Kamlesh Tiwari's murder. Sheikh is a Maulvi by profession.
In a worrisome incident, an event which was scheduled to honour archaeologist KK Muhammed was cancelled after Islamists threatened the organisers to cancel the event.
