Four days after Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal Teli was hacked to death, his blood-soaked black cap lay outside his closed shop with brown shutters. The narrow lanes of Maldas Street with 300-odd garment shops resembled a ghost town. They have been locked since the killing on June 28, and the houses adjoining them appear without life save for an occasional face peering through a window to see the media frenzy. All roads leading to the shops are barricaded.
Raj Kumar, one of the two men employed by Teli, was in the shop that fateful afternoon. He recounted what happened at around 3pm when Ghouse Mohammed and Mohammed Riyaz Attari came and killed his masterji.
