 The killers escaped after releasing the video on social media, according to the police, who have imposed curfew in several areas of the city. All police officers' vacations have been cancelled, and Udaipur is on high alert.

Digital Desk: In a horrifying
occurrence, two men in Udaipur's Maldas street neighbourhood decapitated a man
on Tuesday for sharing a social media message in favour of Nupur Sharma, a
now-suspended BJP leader, in broad daylight. Two attackers, Mohammed Riyaz
Akhtar and Mohammed Gaus, were shown on a video of the incident carrying a
butcher knife and claiming responsibility for the murder.

People have taken to the
streets to call for the culprits to be taken into custody following the
beheading incident in Udaipur, which has shocked the entire city. The police
are on high alert following the incident, and stores near Maldas Street have
been closed to prevent any unfortunate incidents. CM Ashok Gehlot called the
incident disgraceful and urged people of all faiths to remain composed. "I
denounce the horrible killing of a young person in Udaipur. The criminals
involved in this event will face harsh punishment. I beg everyone to keep the
peace and refrain from disseminating the act's video, Gehlot wrote in a tweet.

In recent development,
Internet service has been suspended since the video is being shared massively which
may cause a negative impact.
