Following the grisly murder<\/a> of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Rajasthan\u2019s Udaipur, the police arrested two men from the Bhima area in the Rajsamand district. The accused have been identified as Mohammad Riaz and Ghaus Mohammad. The accused recorded the heinous crime on camera and called it “vengeance” against BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s controversial remarks on the Prophet of Islam.<\/p>\n

On July 1, Zee News aired a video of Rahul Gandhi and claimed that he referred to the accused in the Udaipur murder as “children”. The channel also tweeted the footage<\/a>, but later deleted the post. In the clip, anchor Rohit Ranjan<\/a> can be heard saying, \u201cPeople from all corners of the country feel this crime is barbaric, wrong, and the accused should receive a severe punishment. Being the senior-most leader of the opposition, Rahul Gandhi\u2019s words matter a lot. But what message does it send if Rahul Gandhi himself is calling the accused \u2018children\u2019? Was Kanhaiya\u2019s murderer, someone who killed him so brutally, a child?\u201d<\/p>\n
