Group of Lawyers Attacked Kanhaiya Lal’s Murder Accused at Jaipur Court
GG News Bureau
Jaipur, 2nd July. A group of lawyers attacked the four accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case on Saturday, kicking and slapping them and hurling insults as they were being led to a prisoner vehicle following their appearance in court.
One of the four accused’s clothes were also ripped, and the agitated lawyers raised anti-Pakistani slogans and demanded the death penalty for them.
The four people — the main accused, Riaz Akhtari and Ghouse Mohammad, and two others, Mohsin and Asif — were brought before a special court here under tight security. The four were remanded in police custody until July 12.
Although there was heavy security on the premises, as the accused were being led out of the courtroom, a group of lawyers attacked them before police officers managed to hustle them into a waiting prisoner transport vehicle.
The lawyers yelled slogans like “Pakistan Murdabad” and “Kanhaiya ke hatyaron ko fansi Do” (hang Kanhaiya’s murderers).
Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor from Udaipur, was hacked to death on Tuesday by Akhtari and Ghouse, who claimed in a video posted online that they were retaliating for an insult to Islam.
The state police apprehended Akhtari and Ghouse on the day of the incident, while Mohsin and Asif were arrested by police two days later. The latter two are accused of being involved in the conspiracy and conducting a reconnaissance of Kanhaiya Lal’s tailoring shop.
