Rajasthan: 2 People Kill Kanhaiya Lal Citing Prophet Mohammad Insult; Threatens PM Modi In Video

On Tuesday, 2 men hacked a tailor, identified as Kanhaiya Lal, to death and posted the brutal video on the internet. The 2 men claimed that they killed Kanhaiya Lal in retaliation for the victim sharing and supporting suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma's remarks on Prophet Mohammad. After the gruesome incident, prohibitory orders have been imposed for a month, and internet services have been cut in Rajasthan for 24 hours. Victim Kanhaiya Lal's body was removed from the spot late at night after protestors stalled the authorities demanding strict action and compensation for Kanhaiya Lal's family. Ever since the incident occurred, the internet has been trending with #JusticeforKanhaiyaLal. In another video, the assailants identified themselves as Mohammad Riyaz and Ghouse Mohammad, who boasted about beheading the victim and also issued death threats to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and ex-BJP leader Nupur Sharma. Both residents of Udaipur were arrested immediately by the Rajasthan police. The violent incident has triggered massive protests in the state, with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot condemning the heinous murder. The Rajasthan CM said that 'strict action will be taken against all the criminals involved in this incident' and that 'the police will go to the bottom of the crime'. Meanwhile, the Union Home Ministry has also sent a team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to the city to explore any terrorism angle behind the crime. "This murder has been committed for ideological reasons, in the name of religion. The NIA will explore if there is any angle of terrorism and provide whatever assistance is required to the state police," said a senior union government officer. In the video posted online, Kanhaiya Lal can be seen taking measurements of one of the assailants, who later identified himself as Riyaz. Moments later, the man attacks the victim on his neck with a cleaver as the victim asks: "Kya hua? Batao toh sahi (What happened? Tell me)" To probe the incident, an SIT has been constituted with top officers, including ADG (ATS, SOG) Ashok Rathore and IG (ATS) Prafulla Kumar, an SP and an Additional SP. https://twitter.com/HMOIndia/status/1542020613631791104 https://twitter.com/ashokgehlot51/status/1541793933470027776 https://twitter.com/ashokgehlot51/status/1542007582453530624

Maharashtra Political Crisis: Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA Government To Go On Floor Test Tomorrow

In the latest turn of political events in Maharashtra, Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has called for a floor test in the state assembly tomorrow as the Eknath Shinde camp has rebelled against the CM Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government. The Maharashtra Governor has called for a special session tomorrow in a letter to the Secretary of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. A day earlier, former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had met the Governor urging for a floor test. The Eknath Shinde camp, camping in Guwahati, has claimed the support of nearly 40 out of 55 Shiv Sena MLAs. This majority has pushed the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government comprising of Shiv Sena, NCP and the Congress to the brink of political fallout. Eknath Shinde has said that he and the rebel MLAs will be back in Mumbai tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Thackeray side has moved the Supreme Court against tomorrow's floor test.  https://youtu.be/rZD8HoBoh2c
