Udaipur murder accused booked under UAPA, CM Gehlot says incident meant to ‘spread terror’
Udaipur murder: Curfew remains imposed in areas falling under the limits of at least seven police stations of Udaipur.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot chaired high level meet on Wednesday over Udaipur killings. Calling the “beheading” of an Udaipur tailor by two men over a controversial social media post as an act of terrorism, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Wednesday said the police have booked the accused under stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
“The Udaipur murder was meant to spread terror. Information has also surfaced that the killers have contacts abroad,” Gehlot said.
The chief minister’s statement comes against the backdrop of the Union Home Ministry handing over the case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
“The case will be investigated by the NIA and the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Rajasthan Police will fully cooperate with the probe agency,” Gehlot said while chairing a high level meeting in Jaipur over the Udaipur incident.
