Udaipur: Man slaughtered in broad day-light over supporting Nupur Sharma in social media post

New Delhi: A local tailor, who posted on social media in support of Nupur Sharma 10 days ago, has been brutally murdered in broad day-light in Rajasthan.

The victim had been receiving threats for the past several days, about which he had also registered a complaint to the police.

Entering his shop in broad daylight on Tuesday, the miscreants inflicted several blows with a sharp weapon and slit his throat. The video of this entire attack has also surfaced online, wherein the miscreants can be seen attacking the victim repeatedly with sharp weapons.

The incident took place in Udaipur city.

Here’s what happened

40-year-old Kanhaiyalal Teli has a shop named Supreme Tailors near Bhootmahal located in Dhanmandi. On Tuesday afternoon, two miscreants on a bike came and entered the shop.

Until Kanhaiyalal could understand something, the miscreants attacked on him sharp weapons. One after the other, they attacked on the victim more than half a dozen.  Teli died on the spot. Thereafter both the miscreants fled away.

CM Ashok Gehlot’s reaction on brutal murder

Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot has come to the fore and has condemned the incident, while also assuring strict action against the accused.

“I appeal to everyone not to try to spoil the atmosphere by sharing the video of this incident. By sharing the video, the criminal’s purpose of spreading hatred in the society will be successful”, he further added.

मैं सभी से अपील करता हूं कि इस घटना का वीडियो शेयर कर माहौल खराब करने का प्रयास ना करें। वीडियो शेयर करने से अपराधी का समाज में घृणा फैलाने का उद्देश्य सफल होगा।

According to the media reports, Kanhaiyalal had posted on social media in favor of Nupur Sharma who was removed from BJP 10 days ago. Since then, people of a particular community were threatening to kill him.

Troubled by the constant threats, he had not opened his shop for over 6 days, and had further registered a named report of the youths threatening to hurt him. Though, the police reportedly did not took his complaint seriously and only asked him to be careful for next few days.
