Gunmen seemingly posing as journalists shot dead a former Indian member of parliament and his brother live on TV as they were being taken in handcuffs to hospital by police, authorities said.
Atiq Ahmed, 61, who had been jailed since 2019 and was convicted of kidnapping, was answering reporters' questions late Saturday when he and his brother Ashraf were shot at close range, the television images showed.
The two victims were from India's Muslim minority but police did not say whether they were investigating a possible sectarian motive in the killings. Local media reports said one of the gunmen was even carrying a television camera and another a microphone with the logo of a television channel.
