'There Can Be No Justification': Rahul, Owaisi, Mamata Condemn Udaipur Murder

A tailor was killed in Udaipur for allegedly supporting Nupur Sharma's remarks against Prophet Muhammad.

Hours after a tailor was killed in Rajasthan's Udaipur for his social media post allegedly supporting former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma's remarks against Prophet Muhammad, several political leaders condemned the incident and urged the state government to accord the strictest possible punishment to the accused.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot took to Twitter to assure that the accused persons would be "punished severely in court".

उदयपुर में युवक की हत्या के दोनों आरोपियों को राजसमंद से गिरफ्तार किया गया है। इस केस में अनुसंधान केस ऑफिसर स्कीम के तहत किया जाएगा एवं त्वरित अनुसंधान सुनिश्चित कर अपराधियों को न्यायालय कड़ी से कड़ी सजा दिलवाई जाएगी। मैं पुन: सभी से शान्ति बनाए रखने की अपील करता हूं।
