Meanwhile, the two accused, Riyaz Akhtari and Ghouse Mohammad, who were involved in the murder of tailor Kanhaiyalal in Udaipur on Tuesday, have been shifted to Ajmer High-Security Jail. According to sources, a 10-member team of NIA will interrogate them here. Riyaz and Ghouse had entered a tailoring shop in Udaipur in broad daylight on June 28 and hacked Kanhailal to death with a cleaver for his post in support of suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma on her controversial comments against the Prophet of Islam. The NIA team will file an application in the Jaipur court for the production warrant of both the accused in the Special NIA Court of Jaipur.
