Rajasthan Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Hawa Singh Ghumria appealed to media organisations on Tuesday, 28 June, to not display the video of the horrific murder of a tailor in Udaipur.

The man was killed earlier on Tuesday on Udaipur's Maldas street after he published a social media post allegedly supporting former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma's remarks against Prophet Muhammad. An investigation into the crime has been initiated.

Two men, claiming to be the murderers, posted a video message later in the day and sent out a threat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Ghumria said,

"This is a very unfortunate, shameful incident. The police are on alert. We have sent 2 ADGPs SP and about 600 officials from Jaipur to Udaipur and we will send more later. We want to appeal to the media to not look at the video (of the murder). It is better if you do not watch it. It's not worth watching."
