A Rajasthan police team on Thursday raided a metal factory in which one of the prime accused used to work to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the gruesome murder of tailor Kanhaiyya Lal Teli over a post supporting suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma.
The police suspect that the sharp weapons used in the murder were manufactured at the factory. It is not clear if the weapons have been recovered.
Preliminary investigations revealed that after hacking Kanhaiyya Lal to death at his shop and recording the act using a mobile phone on Tuesday, accused Mohammed Riyaz Attari and Ghous Mohammed had fled to the S.K. Engineering Factory in the Sapetia village on a motorcycle. They made another video claiming responsibility for the killing and released the two clips on the social media, after which they left for Deogarh in Rajsamand. However, they were intercepted by the police in Bhim.
