The Udaipur-based victim was hacked to death by two men who entered his stitching shop posing as customers. They attacked him while giving measurements for clothes. The act was recorded by the two – Riaz Akhtari and Ghouse Mohammad – who then put out multiple videos and made them viral on social media

Tension erupted in Udaipur following mass outrage against the killing. Curfew was enforced in parts of the city with the internet shut across Rajasthan for 24 hours. The accused have been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA) for attempting to strike terror in masses.  The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing any international links with the horrific incident.
