Violence again in Udaipur… the same Udaipur where in June 2022, two youths murdered a tailor named Kanhaiyalal Sahu by slitting his throat with an axe. Udaipur boiled over after this Talibani massacre. Shops and vehicles were vandalized. There was a lot of uproar. After this, curfew was imposed for several days. Today again an attempt was made to commit a similar incident in this Udaipur. Angry people vandalized and set fire, but the police could not do anything then nor now. The question is why did the police not learn a lesson from that incident?
The matter started when two students of class 10th got into an argument in the government school of Bhatiyani Chohatta. The matter escalated so much that one student stabbed the other. This news spread like wildfire in a moment. Various kinds of claims started being made on social media. People even started saying that a Kanhaiyalal-like incident had happened. Some people were seen making false claims. Leaders of many parties were also included in this. The police did not notice it until the uproar ended.
