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 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.
