Udaipur Tailor Murder: NIA Files Chargesheet Against 11

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against 11 people for their alleged involvement in the murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal, who was butchered at his shop by two men in Udaipur earlier this year.

In June this year, Kanhaiya Lal was working at his shop when two men came and butchered him before fleeing the spot. The entire incident, which was captured on CCTV cameras, went viral. The brutal murder sent shockwaves across the country.

Later, the two men recorded a video where they admitted to killing Kanhaiya for a social media post supporting suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma.

A third video also surfaced days after the murder, in which one of the two men, who appear in the second video, is heard describing his intentions of carrying out an act similar to what took place in Udaipur.

Following the murder, the Union Home Ministry had dispatched a four-member team of NIA to Udaipur to probe the shopkeeper’s murder.
