Murderers should be hanged till death: Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal's wife

Tailor Kanhaiya Lal, who was beheaded in Udaipur in Rajasthan by two men for allegedly posting content in support of suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma, has created a public outcry. Reacting to the horrific and brutal killing of her husband, his wife Yashoda demanded that the culprits should be hanged to death.

Kanhaiya Lal, whose gruesome murder shocked the nation, was cremated on Wednesday in Rajasthan's Udaipur in the presence of a large number of people who raised slogans demanding capital punishment for the accused.

"For the last 10-15 days he was getting life threats. They said that they will kill him. People used to come both at home and his shop to threaten him. He was threatened over the phone as well," she recalled how her husband was getting death threats.

Yesterday, just a few hours after he reopened his shop, two men arrived posing as customers. He started measuring one of them and suddenly, he was attacked with a giant cleaver while the other man recorded the gruesome incident. Kanhaiya had also filed a complaint with the police about threats.

The assailants identified themselves in the video as Riyaz Akhtari and Ghouse Mohammad.
