Hindu man's slaying stokes tensions in Indian city
29/6/2022 12:57
Mobile internet services and large gatherings remained restricted in India's western Udaipur city on Wednesday, a day after police arrested two Muslim men accused of killing a Hindu tailor in a suspected religious attack.
News agency Press Trust of India reported, the Hindu man was stabbed multiple times inside his tailoring shop Tuesday by two cleaver-wielding men who also filmed the attack. The two men later claimed responsibility for the killing in another video and threatened to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the same manner.
The man's killing has led to tensions in Udaipur and across the Rajasthan state, prompting authorities to rush additional police into the city to counter any religious unrest.
The killing comes at a time when religious polarization in India is on the rise amid a spate of attacks on minority groups, especially Muslims.
