Tension grips Rajasthan's Udaipur once again as an attempted murder reminiscent of the tragic killing of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in June 2022 has rattled the community. According to reports from Udaipur, Suresh narrowly escaped an attack by Rehan and Musa, who were accompanied by a mob, which attacked Suresh with swords and knives.

The area was gripped in chaos as the mob suddenly attacked the victim. Before the victim could understand anything, the mob attacked him with brutal force. The locals intervened in time to rescue Suresh from the clutches of Rehan and Musa. The incident has sparked communal tensions across the area.

CCTV footage sparks outrage

Prompt police action led to the arrest of the assailants, but the atmosphere remains tense. The CCTV footage of the incident is circulating online on social media platforms, which is adding fuel to the fire. 

Kanhaiya Lal murder case

The chilling resemblance of this incident to the Kanhaiya Lal murder case, where Kanhaiya Lal was slain on accusations of insulting Islam. In the wake of Kanhaiya Lal's murder, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) intervened and arrested 11 suspects by December 2022.

The horrific act, captured on video, triggered widespread outrage and prompted urgent arrests. Following Kanhaiya Lal's assassination, the region witnessed heightened tensions, where the local market faced a complete shutdown and faced acts of vandalism, such as the torching of motorcycles by enraged mobs.

Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot urged citizens to refrain from sharing distressing videos. Assuring justice, Gehlot vowed that the perpetrators would face the full force of the law, echoing his commitment to justice during the Kanhaiya Lal tragedy.
