It took the Rajasthan police five hours to track down suspects who confessed on a viral video that they murdered Udaipur resident Kanhaiya Lal in broad daylight. Tensions are high in Udaipur after the Taliban-style execution of the 27-year-old tailor for his reported remarks in favour of expelled BJP leader Nupur Sharma. 

What happened on Tuesday?

In the afternoon, two bike riders entered the Supreme Tailors shop in the Dhanmandi area of ​​the city. Both told shopkeeper Kanhaiya Lal that they wanted to get some clothes stitched. As soon as Kanhaiya started taking measurements, one of them attacked Kanhaiya with a sharp weapon. Both of them inflicted many blows on Kanhaiya with what seemed like chopping knives. He died on the spot. 

To note, a few days ago, Kanhaiya had put a post on social media in support of Nupur Sharma. Following that, he had been getting constant threats. He had not even opened the shop for nearly a week. Not only this, he had also lodged a complaint with the police. But the police did not take the matter seriously.
