Debjit Mukherjee: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday took over the probe into the murder of a tailor in Rajasthan’s Udaipur and invoked provisions of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against the accused who have “conspired, planned and committed the heinous” incident.
The NIA said it has registered the case under Sections 302 (murder), 153-A (promoting enmity between communities), 153-B (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration), 295-A (outraging religious feelings), 34 (common intention) and 452 (trespass with an intention to cause hurt) of the Indian Penal Code and also invoked Sections 16, 18, and 20 (related to punishment for terror act, conspiracy, and being a member of a terrorist organisation) of UAPA against accused who have conspired, planned, and committed the heinous murder of Shri Kanhaiya Lal Telli.
Investigation into the savage Udaipur murder has revealed links of the two self-radicalized murderers – Md Riyaz Akhtari and Ghous Mohammad – with Karachi-based Sunni Islamist organization Dawat-e-Islami, which has links with Barelvi pan-Islamic Tehreek-e-Labbaik extremist organization in Pakistan, according to people familiar with the investigation. It was found out that they were planning to go to Ajmer Sharif Dargah.
