Kanhaiya Lal Tailor (Udaipur Murder Case) Biography

Kanhaiya Lal was a tailor from Udaipur, Rajasthan, who was killed in broad daylight on 28 June 2022. His death followed a social-media controversy and led,

Early life and background

Kanhaiya Lal Teli was born in 1974 in Maldas Street, Udaipur, Rajasthan. He worked as a local tailor and ran a shop called Supreme Tailors in the Dhanmandi area near Bhootmahal in Udaipur. At the time of his death he was 48 years old.

Kanhaiya Lal was married to Jasoda Sahu and is survived by two sons, Yash and Tarun. His father’s name was Roopji Teli.

Career

Kanhaiya Lal operated a neighborhood tailoring shop where he took measurements and stitched garments for local customers. Supreme Tailors was the location where the attack that took his life took place.

Public profile

In June 2022 Kanhaiya Lal became the focus of a community dispute after a social media profile picture and related material drew attention. A neighbour filed an FIR on 10 June 2022 accusing him of using the photograph of a suspended political spokesperson as his mobile phone display picture. The neighbour later said he had filed the complaint under pressure from members of the local community and that Kanhaiya Lal himself did not know how to use a mobile phone. Kanhaiya Lal was briefly arrested after the complaint and released on bail the same day. He later registered a police complaint alleging threats and naming several people whom he said had planned to kill him after the material circulated online.

Authorities arranged a meeting between the parties and took a written statement indicating the dispute had been resolved. The day-to-day reality for Kanhaiya Lal continued in his tailoring work until the attack in late June.

The attack and immediate aftermath

On 28 June 2022, at about 2:30 pm, two men identified as Ghouse Mohammad and Mohammad Riaz came to Supreme Tailors. While Kanhaiya Lal was taking measurements for a pair of trousers one of the men attacked him with a sharp weapon and the other recorded the assault on a mobile phone. The attack was described as an attempt to behead him. The two perpetrators were later arrested by Rajasthan police in Bhim, Rajsamand district.

Earlier in June, the two men had recorded a video in which they purportedly pledged revenge over derogatory remarks about the Prophet Muhammad; that recording, reportedly made on 17 June 2022, was shared on social media after the killing. Reports also indicated the accused released an additional video threatening the prime minister.

Investigation and government response

Following the killing, state authorities acted quickly to detain the accused. Rajasthan’s chief minister commented that the suspects had been arrested and that the investigation would proceed under the Case Officer Scheme with an emphasis on speed and punishment through the courts. The killing prompted heightened security measures in Udaipur and wider parts of Rajasthan, with prohibitory orders and restrictions in several areas.

The central government directed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to take over the probe on 29 June 2022. The Ministry of Home Affairs asked the NIA to examine whether any organisation or international linkages were involved. Authorities also noted that one of the accused had travelled to Karachi in 2014 to attend an event associated with Dawat-e-Islami; the Rajasthan DGP said the incident was being treated as a terror-related act and a case was registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

Public profile

The murder of Kanhaiya Lal provoked widespread outrage and prompted emergency measures in the city, including curfews and imposition of section 144 in parts of Udaipur. Family members who received his body on 29 June 2022 demanded that the perpetrators receive punishment consistent with the severity of the crime.

Latest updates

The licensed material records the arrests, the transfer of the case to the NIA, and the classification of the investigation to include counterterror provisions. Beyond those developments, the excerpt does not provide later outcomes such as trial results or sentencing.
