The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a charge sheet against 11 persons, including two Pakistani nationals, for their alleged involvement in the brutal murder of Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal, and called the killing a ‘terror gang’ act.

If sources are to be believed, the NIA has added two persons living in Karachi as accused after its investigation. Sources said that these youths used to send inflammatory messages along with being the admin of many groups. All these accused were associated with these groups. Both the Pakistanis are currently away from the grip of NIA.

With the aim of spreading terror across India, the accused made a video of the murder and made it viral. One of the two also shot another threatening video with the intention of spreading fear and terror among the people of India for writing against Islam.

In the charge sheet presented in the Special Court of Jaipur on Thursday, the NIA team said that the accused had conspired to take revenge by acting as a terrorist module. The accused were radicalized and were motivated by objectionable audio/ video/ messages coming from across the world, including India. Both the accused had arranged knives and weapons to carry out the gruesome manner across the country.

Lal was murdered inside his shop Supreme Tailors in Udaipur when two persons, Gaus Mohammad and Mohammad Riyaz, entered the shop as customers and murdered Lal.
