So it wasn't just a terrorist who got bumped off.
I don't think Dara - who wanted to save the lives of innocent cows (and who "had been trying to get the State to enforce the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals laws") - would ever have allowed innocent kids to lose theirs. While he was daring and taking serious risks for himself in liberating cows headed for islamic slaughter, he was not a murderer: they couldn't actually pin a single murder on him, for all their trying. Staines' case was the closest they got, and the 'evidence' against Dara on that one was nowhere, even though he is serving a life-sentence anyway. <- He must have been a real thorn in their side for them to try everything to put him away based on nothing that holds up even remotely (they even pushed to get him sentenced to <i>death</i> based on that same nothing). <i>Only</i> because he is Hindu is he serving time for a crime they have no real evidence for his having committed and which he also says he didn't commit.
But here's Rajeev Srinivasan considering who committed it:

The usual suspects, say the pundits: the Hindu extreme right-wing. However, as Sherlock Holmes might say, we have to consider the possible culprits and eliminate the less likely ones. And the possible villains would be the set of all who stood to gain from this ghastly deed.
Eyewitnesses say Stains' attackers conducted an operation with military precision -- obviously pre-meditated -- and then, before they left, they shouted pro-Bajrang Dal slogans. That last, however, is very suspicious. If it were pre-meditated and skilfully executed, why on earth would they leave their visiting card, as it were? Unless it was someone else pretending to be the Bajrang Dal, surely?
(Also note that whatever mob it was, it was also most curiously shouting Dara Singh's name even though he was not present. And it was only this that led to the investigators presuming that Dara was even there at the time.)
Who might that someone be? Who might be motivated? Perhaps someone who wanted to malign the Bajrang Dal
