Lucknow: Police have recovered the belongings of two suspects involved in the Kamlesh Tiwari murder case.

Sheikh Ashfaq Hussain & Pathan Moinuddin Ahmed were staying at Hotel Khalsa.

It was also found out that the suspects who were captured in the CCTV footage, had travelled from Gujarat to Kanpur by train and they then took another conveyance to reach Lucknow.

UP Director General of Police O P Singh said, "According to the staff of the hotel, the two had told their names as Sheikh Ashfaqul Hussain and Muinuddin Pathan. On the day of the murder, both of them moved out of the hotel, wearing a saffron kurta, and there was a box of sweets in their hand."

He added, "They came to the hotel on October 17 and left on October 18 afternoon. A saffron-coloured kurta with blood stains was lying on their bed. The towel, which has been retrieved, also has stains of blood. A box of new mobile phone was also found from the spot. This is a big success in the course of the investigation. The police will soon reach the killer."

Singh also said the police was examining CCTV footage, quizzing suspects and exploring all angles behind the crime.

An SIT has already been constituted to crack the case.

A manager of the hotel, meanwhile, told reporters that the room in which the two suspected killers were staying has been sealed. "They had booked the room using their identification documents," he said.

Hindu Samaj Party chief Tiwari, 45, earlier associated with a faction of the Hindu Mahasabha, was killed at his home in Khurshed Bagh here on Friday.

His cremation was delayed as his family members were adamant on meeting the chief minister to put forth their nine demands, including a probe by the National Investigation Agency, a government job for one of the victim's sons and security for them.

Terming the murder as "an act of mischief to create terror", Adityanath had on Saturday said the guilty will not be spared.
