Fearing an outbreak of communal violence, local authorities have banned large gatherings for a month and suspended internet services

Two sons of Kanhaiyalal Teli, a Hindu tailor, who was killed by two suspected Muslims, carry a portrait of their father after a prayer meeting in Udaipur in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, India, on June 30 2022. REUTERS/AMIT DAVETwo weeks before a Hindu tailor in India was hacked to death by two Muslim men who filmed the act, he was briefly detained by police after a rival tailor accused him of an “inflammatory” Facebook post on Prophet Mohammad.

Modi’s pursuit of a “Hindu first” agenda since coming to power in 2014 has added to communal tensions in India, a country with a ghastly history of Hindu-Muslim violence. Many Muslims, who make up 13% of the 1.3-billion population, complain of feeling marginalised due to Modi’s policies. In a police complaint seen by Reuters, he said he was aware that his photo had gone viral in Muslim community WhatsApp groups and that he be provided protection.

“She and her loose tongue has set the entire country on fire,” Justice Surya Kant said, dismissing a petition by Sharma to combine police complaints filed against her across the country into one. “Her outburst is responsible for the unfortunate incident in Udaipur.” Teli was reported to police by Muslim tailor Nazim Ahmed on June 11 in a complaint, seen by Reuters, which said: “He has posted an indecent comment on the character of our Prophet due to which there is anger in our Muslim society. Legal action should be taken against the said culprit” for his “inflammatory post”.
