Vaibhav Tiwari murder: Two history-sheeters arrested

Gippy Tiwari was BJP MLA from Domariyaganj in 1989, 1991 and 1993.

Two persons were arrested on Tuesday in connection with the murder of former BJP MLA Prem Prakash Tiwari's son Vaibhav Tiwari. Vaibhav was shot dead on Saturday at the Kasmanda House, barely 300 metres from the Uttar Pradesh Legislature building and the state BJP office.

The arrested individuals, said to be history-sheeters, have sent to three days police remand, said reports.

Vaibhav Tiwari, the son of former Domariyaganj MLA Prem Prakash Tiwari alias Gippy Tiwari, was called by some of his acquaintances from his residence at the Kasmanda House on Saturday night. Following an altercation, Vaibhav was shot dead.

Gippy Tiwari was BJP MLA from Domariyaganj in 1989, 1991 and 1993. Then in 2014, he went to the Samajwadi Party. In this year's Assembly elections, however, he campaigned for the BJP.

Vaibhav was the only son of the former MLA and a local BJP leader said that he reportedly had love marriage with a non-Brahmin girl. The police said that investigation is going on. The Uttar Pradesh Legislature is currently in session.
