NIA to probe Udaipur tailor murder case: Home Ministry
Udaipur/New Delhi: The central government on Wednesday directed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to probe the killing of a tailor in Udaipur in Rajasthan apparently to avenge his support to a former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma whose remarks on the Prophet Mohammad were widely condemned.
"MHA has directed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to take over the investigation of the brutal murder of Shri Kanhaiya Lal Teli committed at Udaipur, Rajasthan yesterday," the Home Ministry tweeted.

The murder was filmed by his killers and the situation sparked massive tension in the city.
The police have already arrested two men- attackers Gos Mohammad and Riyaz- in connection with the case.
Two men entered the victim-Kanhaiya Lal's shop at a crowded market in Udaipur in the afternoon and attacked him with a knife.
A video filmed by them showed Kanhaiya Lal measuring one of the men before he was attacked.
The killers were then seen gloating on camera about the murder and also threatening Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Kanhaiya Lal had expressed support on social media for the former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, who triggered a huge controversy and nationwide protests with her provocative comments on Prophet Mohammed.
