Amid the ongoing investigations in connection with the brutal killing of a tailor in Udaipur last month, four accused arrested persons were sent to Ajmer jail on Wednesday, officials said. The accused sent to jail included Mohsin Khan, Wasim, Asif, and Mohammed Mohsin. All four will be in jail till August 1. The national National Investigation Agency (NIA) took other accused Riyaz Ghaus and Farhat on remand.
Earlier on Tuesday, the NIA conducted searches at nine locations in Rajasthan. The anti-terror agency carried out searches on the premises of suspects in Udaipur. Digital devices (mobile phones, laptops, and SIM cards) and other incriminating materials were claimed to have been seized by the NIA during the searches.
The case pertains to the killing of Kanhaiyya Lal Teli, 47, at his shop in Maldas Street in Udaipur on June 28. The victim was killed as he reportedly had shared a social media post in support of Nupur Sharma-- former BJP leader who had made controversial remarks against Prophet Mohammad.
The case was initially registered on June 29 at Udaipur's Dhanmandi Police Station. The NIA re-registered the case on June 29 and took over the probe. The NIA has so far arrested seven individuals in the killing of Kanhaiyya Lal Teli, who was hacked to death.
On July 9, the anti-terror agency said it arrested 7th accused Farhad Mohammad Sheikh alias Babla, 31, from Udaipur. Mohammad was a close criminal associate of one of the main killers Riyaz Attari and was an active part of the conspiracy to kill Kanhaiyya Lal.

During the investigation of the Kanhaiya Lal murder in Udaipur by the National Investigation Agency and Anti Terrorist Squad, it has been revealed that Pakistani organization Dawat-e-Islami and terrorist outfits had formed a team of 40 people in Rajasthan to target supporters of former BJP Spokesperson Nupur Sharma. A list of targets was created by the terrorist outfits who were to be executed in Taliban style.
As per reports, the 40 people linked to Dawat-e-Islami were given the task of “teaching a lesson” to those who publish posts on social media in support of Nupur Sharma. These people were associated with Dawat-e-Islami for over a year. The investigation agencies found out about the conspiracy by checking the call details of terrorists Riyaz Attari and Mohammad Gos, who were arrested for brutally killing Hindu tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur for a social media post supporting Nupur Sharma.
During the investigation, 20 mobile numbers of 10 people from Pakistan were investigated. Reportedly, 40 people from India were given a target list to spread panic in India by publishing beheading videos in Taliban style. People associated with Dawat-e-Islami in six districts in Rajasthan were given the task of teaching a lesson to people for supporting Nupur Sharma.

NIA FIR mentions that "assailants involved in the 'brutal' murder of Kanhaiyya Lal, circulated a video of the assault with assertion to promote "enmity on religious ground" and to create "panic and terror" amongst the masses across the country.
The FIR is based on the complaint of Kanhaiyya's son Yash Teli, a resident of Rajasthan's Housing Board Colony, regarding the brutal killing of his father by two assailants-- Riyaz Akhtari and Ghouse Mohammad-- armed with sharp weapons at his shop 'Suprim Tailor', Bhoot Mahal Maaldas street, Udaipur.

The brutal killing took place on June 28 (Tuesday) between 3 pm and 3.30 pm, and the information was received at NIA through an order issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs' Counter-Terrorism and Counter Radicalization Division (CTCR) on June 29.
Soon after committing the crime, the two accused, both residents of Udaipur, posted a video on social media boasting about the "beheading" and threatened Prime Minister Narendra Modi's life as well
Notably, NIA interrogated six people, including Sadar Mujeeb Siddiqui of Anjuman Talimul Islam, Maulana Zulkarnain, and former Sadar Khaleel Ahmed co-secretary Umar Farooq, and two lawyers in Udaipur on Tuesday. These people were questioned after being taken into custody by the investigating agency. NIA also searched the house of Sadar Mujeeb. During the investigation, NIA also found that objectionable religious books were being sold in Ajmer at the shops opened by Dawat-e-Islami. The booksellers were paid Rs 250 per day to sell those books. Riyaz and Gos used to distribute such books from these book shops.
