Udaipur murder case Live updates: Kanhaiya Lal cremated, funeral procession amid tight security

Kanhaiya Lal's wife Yashoda demanded that the culprits should be hanged to death.

"We demand those people who murdered him (Kanhaiya Lal) should be hanged to death, we demand their death sentence and need justice," she said. 

Former Delhi BJP media head Naveen Kumar Jindal, who was expelled from the party over his tweet on Prophet Mohammad, demanded security for himself and his family after he allegedly received death threats via e-mails, which also had videos of the Udaipur "beheading" incident. 

The Delhi Police, however, said it has provided adequate security to Jindal and that his complaint is being examined. 

Around 6.45 am, I received three e-mails with videos of tailor Kanhaiya Lal's murder in Udaipur and a threat of similar treatment to me and my family, Jindal said. 

"This is not the first threat. I have received hundreds of threats through social media, phone calls and messages in the past one month but Delhi Police has not strengthened my security cover although I have written half a dozen times to officials, including the commissioner of police," he said. 

When govt is involved more in politics & less in governance these things (Udaipur murder) are bound to happen. They (Gehlot govt) aren't proactive otherwise they wouldn't have blamed others.

Several people gathered at Lal's home raising slogans after his body was handed over to family members after postmortem.

Slogans like 'Bharat Mata ki Jay' and 'Kanhaiya Hum Sharminda Hain Tere Katil Jinda Hain' were chanted by people while others carried saffron flags.
