In Udaipur’s Maldas area, a man was brutally murdered for supporting Nupur Sharma, whose remarks on the Prophet had led to nationwide protests. The incident took place near the Udaipur Bus stand and the attackers themselves recorded the incident.
Just hours after the incident took place, the police arrested the accused. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has urged people to maintain peace and has confirmed the arrests. Gehlot, earlier, had also appealed to people to maintain peace and not to share the video.
Reporters in Jodhpur were told by Gehlot that “The guilty will not be spared. The entire police team is working on it with full alertness. I can imagine the anger which is there among people due to the murder. We are taking action accordingly.”
