Union Home Ministry hands over Udaipur case to anti-terror agency NIA | Watch

The Ministry of Home Affairs has ordered the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to take over the probe into the murder of a Hindu tailor in Rajasthan’s Udaipur. The anti-terror agency will investigate the involvement of any extremist or terror outfits and foreign conspiracies in the case. A tailor, identified as Kanhaiya Lal, was murdered on Tuesday by two men who chopped his head off and later uploaded a video admitting to killing the man over a social media post in support of former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. The two accused were arrested by police and the Rajasthan Police formed a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the matter. The Centre had dispatched a four-member NIA team to Udaipur soon after the incident.
