Kangana Ranaut has written, 'The way videos of Kanhaiyalal's murder have been made, I do not dare to watch them, I am absolutely shocked'. Anupam Kher writes angrily, 'Frightened.. sad.. angry'.

The victim was hacked to death for supporting now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma in a social media post over her controversial remarks on the Prophet of Islam. According to the police, the two accused allegedly met the tailor on the pretext of giving cloth measurements.
