Gaus Mohammad and Mohd Riyaz Ansari behead shopkeeper in Udaipur

Udaipur witnessed a gruesome murder by radical Islamists who beheaded a shopkeeper in the broad daylight for allegedly supporting Nupur Sharma in a social media post. In the horrendous incident, a shopkeeper identified as Kanhaiya Lal was murdered in Rajasthan’s Udaipur, in Maldas Street on Tuesday.

Two men identified as Gaus Mohammad and Mohd Riyaz Ansari posted a video in which they claimed killing the shopkeeper. They have also threatened Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the video, showcasing their knives.

Around 2:30 pm two Muslim youth arrived at the shop on a bike. One of them held a phone to make a video and the other one pretended to give his measurements to the tailor. While the victim proceeded to take measurements of one of the man, he was ambushed and brutally hit on his head and neck with swords. The whole act was deliberately caught on camera. The killers, Mohammed Riyaz Akhtar and Gaus Mohammed later confessed to the killing in a video with no remorse while brandishing the murder weapon.
