India shuts down internet and restricts gatherings in northern Udaipur town after gory video showing the killing of a tailor goes viral, with experts warning of national consequences in the Hindu-majority country
A tailor has been killed in his shop in a northwestern Indian town, and two machete-wielding men in a video claimed responsibility for it, raising tension in the area.
Police said on Tuesday they had arrested the men for the incident in the tourist town of Udaipur in Rajasthan state, suspended internet services and appealed to people not to share the video that has gone viral on social media. A curfew was imposed in some areas of the Udaipur district."What has happened today in Udaipur may trigger serious communal riots," said Shesh Paul Vaid, a former senior police official in a different state.
"By ensuring speedy investigation, the criminals will be punished severely in court. I again appeal to all to maintain peace," Gehlot added. Every non-BJP party & liberal will condemn what’s happened in Udaipur. No Muslim is supporting those monsters.No party will rally for them like BJP did for Kathua rapists.
