The killing of a Hindu man in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan has sparked religious tensions in the area.
The victim, a tailor named Kanhaiya Lal, was killed in Udaipur district on Tuesday by two Muslim men, who filmed the act and posted it online.
They claimed the act was in retaliation for the victim’s support for controversial remarks made by a politician on the Prophet Muhammad.
The government has suspended internet services and banned large gatherings.
Police have arrested the two men, who had identified themselves in the video.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has appealed to people to stay calm.
The federal government has asked the National Investigative Agency – India’s top anti-terrorism agency – to investigate the incident. (BBC)
