Kanhaiya Lal was killed in his shop by two men, Gos Mohammad and Riyaz Akhtari, who filmed the crime and gloated about it in a video.
Weeks before his horrific murder on camera, Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal had complained about death threats over a social media post in support of BJP leader Nupur Sharma, whose comment on Prophet Muhammad had triggered protests in India and condemnation from Gulf countries.
Kanhaiya Lal was arrested on June 10 after a complaint against him over the post. Five days after he was released on bail, he told the police that he was being threatened and harassed. The police mediated sessions between the tailor and those who had allegedly threatened him, along with senior community leaders from both sides, and the matter was considered resolved. Kanhaiya Lal gave a written statement to the police that no more action is needed. Then the threats started again.
The police inspector who received Kanhaiya's complaint and oversaw the mediation has been suspended. The police are questioning the community leaders who stepped in to broker peace at the time.
"All parties and community leaders were called to the police station and the matter was resolved," said senior police officer Hawa Singh Ghumariya.
