The Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha members who controversially recreated the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi and hailed his killer Nathuram Godse at an event in Aligarh are still absconding, the police said on Thursday. Two persons have been arrested in the case, but the main accused, ABHM secretary Puja Shakun Pandey and her husband and ABHM spokesperson Ashok Pandey, were untraceable.

Akash Kulhary, Aligarh SSP, said police raided the couple's house and was making attempts to arrest them.

An FIR was lodged against Ms. Pandey, Mr. Ashok Pandey and a dozen other members of the right-wing outfit for enacting the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.

They were charged with committing deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings and for promoting enmity between different groups, among other sections of the Indian Penal Code.
