The killer has been identified as Shambhu Lal and the man he murdered is
believed to be Ifrazul.

Video shows Shambhu Lal repeatedly attacking Afrazul with a weapon
Police believe a third person could've been involved
Internet suspended in Rajsamand where the incident took place

In a stomach-turning video that is viral, a man in Rajasthan hacks another
man to death and burns the body while keeping up an inflammatory communal
rant against "love jihad", the term used by right-wing groups who accuse
Muslim men of drawing Hindu women into relationships and converting them.

Internet has been suspended in Rajsamand to stop the circulation of two
video clips that were posted on WhatsApp, allegedly by the killer. State
Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria says the accused man, identified as
Shambhu Lal, has been arrested. His family says he is mentally unhinged,
according to the police.

The police believe a half-burnt body they found this morning near a road in
Rajsamand could be that of the victim in the video - 45-year-old Ifrazul, a
daily wage labourer from West Bengal.

In one of two clips posted online, Shambhu Lal, in a red shirt, white
trousers and a white muffler, is seen leading Ifrazul to a spot in the
woods. The police say the labourer may have been led to believe he was
there for a job.

Shambhu Lal follows him and attacks him repeatedly with an axe. Loud
wailing and screams for help are heard as the video becomes increasingly
difficult to watch.

When the victim falls silent, Shambhu Lal looks into the camera and
launches into a deranged hate speech, declaring that he killed to save a
woman from "love jihad". He takes the blood-soaked axe and strikes at the
prone figure once more before setting it on fire.

"If I have to die, I will kill some and die," he says, making references to
Ayodhya, the "Padmavati" film controversy and the Hindi film PK, which
featured a romance between an Indian and a Pakistani. Apparently referring
to Hindu-Muslim relationships, he threatens to "find each one of them and
kill."


The police believe a third person may have filmed the murder.

The administration is watching out for trouble in Rajsamand, a district
around five hours from state capital Jaipur.

"It is shocking how he killed the man and made a video of it. The accused
has been arrested and a special investigation team (SIT) has been set
up...Any person will be disturbed by the video," Home Minister Kataria said.

Senior police officers have been sent to Rajsamand to prevent any flare-up.

The opposition Congress said the murder on video proves there is no
governance in Rajasthan.

"There is no fear of law here, no fear of police... there is no
government," said Congress leader Sachin Pilot, adding, "We must set an
example where people must fear that there is a government that will set
certain rules."
