The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday registered a case under the anti-terror Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in connection with the “heinous murder” of a tailor in Rajasthan’s Udaipur by two people who, the agency said, wanted to “strike terror among the masses across the country”.
A spokesperson for the agency said NIA teams have already reached Udaipur and requisite action for expeditious investigation of the case has been initiated.
“The accused persons had also circulated a video of the criminal act in the social media claiming responsibility for the murder in order to trigger panic and strike terror among the masses across the country,” he said.
