A day after Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor in Udaipur, was hacked to death by two men, Mohammad Riyaz and Ghouse Mohammad, for allegedly sharing remarks made by BJP’s Nupur Sharma on the Prophet, Rajasthan Minister of State for Home Rajendra Singh Yadav said Wednesday that Ghouse Mohammad had been to Karachi in 2014 and been making phone calls to Pakistan “for the last 2-3 years”. Director General of Police M L Lather said Ghouse had gone to visit the office of Dawat-e-Islami in Karachi. The DeI is a Sunni Islamic proselytising group founded in Pakistan by Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadri in 1981. Minister Yadav said Ghouse “went to Karachi in 2014 and spent about 45 days there. Then in 2018-19, he had movements in Arab countries and also visited Nepal a few times. And for the last 2-3 years, he was making calls to 8-10 phone numbers of Pakistan.” “The crime they have committed is not one which could have been committed by a common man. So the NIA has lodged a case and their network will be found out and the guilty will be jailed,” he said. As outrage over the killing mounted and condemnation poured in from different parts of the country, Gehlot cut short a visit to Jodhpur and returned to Jaipur where he chaired a meeting to review the Udaipur case with top state officials of the state. Post meeting, CM said that “preliminary probe reveals that the incident has been committed with an objective to spread terror and fear. It appears that they had a connection with international organisations, therefore it is obvious for the NIA to probe the entire incident.” He said that the state’s Special Operations Group (SOG) and Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) will extend “complete support” to the NIA in its investigation. DGP Lather told reporters that the questioning of Ghouse and Riyaz so far had revealed that “they were associated with an organisation named Dawat-e-Islami” and Ghouse “was in constant touch with other members of the organisation”
