Kamlesh had been working at the liquor shop for 5 months and did not receive his salary. When he demanded the salary, his employer along with his friends poured petrol on him and set him on fire.

Alwar in Rajasthan is infamous for crimes and the latest incident has once again started a series of rhetoric in Rajasthan with both the BJP leaders and Congress government engaging in blame games.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's government has once again come under fire in the wake of the incident.

Kamal Kishore, the deceased's brother said that Kamlesh was doused with petrol or alcohol and set on fire. To save himself Kamlesh went into the deep freezer where he died due to the burns.

The police, however, have denied any such things in the case and an investigation is on.

The BJP leaders are constantly attacking the Congress government and Chief Minister Gehlot regarding the law and order status of Rajasthan.

As of now, no statement has been issued by Congress leaders so far. But the incident in Alwar after Karauli has once again put to question the functioning of the police and law and order of the state.

The relatives of the deceased have so far, written two complaints and submitted to the local police. In the village too, people have been divided over the issue, with groups forming supporting different sides.
