Udaipur: Two held after tailor killed ‘for social media post backing Nupur Sharma’; city tense
Reacting to the killing, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot said, “I condemn the heinous murder of a youth in Udaipur. Strict action will be taken against all the criminals.”
A tailor in Udaipur was hacked to death on Tuesday by two persons allegedly for posting a social media statement in favour of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, who had made controversial remarks about Prophet Mohammad. Both the men have been apprehended from Rajsamand district.
With the city tense following the murder, internet services have been suspended. ADG Law and Order, Hawa Singh Ghumaria, said 600 police personnel along with senior officers are being sent to Udaipur, and Rajasthan is on alert.
According to the police, the two accused allegedly met the tailor, identified as Kanhaiyalal, on the pretext of giving measurements for clothes. In a gruesome video purportedly recorded by one of them, the tailor can be seen taking measurements of the other person. However, moments later, the person pulls out a cleaver and attacks the tailor on his neck, even as the tailor keeps repeating, “kya hua batao toh sahi (what happened? Tell me!)”
