Earlier on Friday, the Rajasthan government suspended Udaipur ASP Ashok Kumar Meena. Before that, the SHO and SI were also suspended.
The victim, identified as Kanhaiya Lal Teli, was a tailor in Udaipur. As per reports, the incident took place earlier this week when two men entered his shop posing as customers. As the tailor was taking the measurements of one of them, he attacked him with a cleaver. The other man shot the murder with his mobile phone. Multiple stab wounds were also found on Kanhaiya Lal's body, IANS reported.
As per reports, Kanhaiya Lal had earlier told the local police that he received threats over a social media post shared from his account, apparently “supporting” BJP leader Nupur Sharma’s remarks on Prophet Mohammad.
Meanwhile, the four accused were reportedly attacked by an angry crowd of people while being escorted by the police outside the premises of NIA court in Jaipur on Saturday.
