An unidentified armed group has opened fire at the President of Hindu Youth Association Kashi Tiwari to his death on Saturday evening at Ranighat of Birganj.

Two assailants riding a motorbike came over to Shiva Parvati temple and shot two rounds of bullets at Tiwari, said police. Tiwari, who was critically injured by the gunshot, breathed his last while undergoing treatment at Narayani Sub-Regional Hospital. The dead body has been kept at the very hospital.

The motive behind the murder is yet a mystery as no group has owned up the incident. The security presence has been rendered thick in Birganj sub-metropolitan city following the incident.

The Hindu youth activists have flocked to the streets in protest of Tiwari’s broad day-light murder.

The culprits are still at large.
