New Delhi: BJP leader Kapil Mishra met the family members of Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor who was brutally hacked to death in Rajasthan’s Udaipur, and announced financial assistance of Rs 1 crore.
Mishra had started a fundraising initiative after Kanhaiya Lal was brutally killed in his shop.
After paying floral tributes to Kanhaiya Lal and meeting his family at his residence, Mishra told reporters that he had set a target of collecting Rs 1 crore through the fundraiser but Rs 1 crore 70 lakh have already been collected and people are still contributing.
He said that Rs 1 crore will be transferred to the family of Kanhaiya Lal which will be used in repaying the home loan and for the expenditure of the studies of his sons.
Mishra said that Rs 25 lakh will be given to Ishwar, who was also present in Kanhaiya Lal’s shop and sustained injuries.
Apart from this, Rs 5 lakh will be given to constable Sandeep, who was injured by a mob in Rajsamand district on Wednesday when the police tried to stop an agitated mob moving towards a religious place with an intention of attack.
Two men hacked to death Kanhaiya Lal with a cleaver at his shop before posting videos online saying that they were avenging an insult to Islam and Prophet Mohammad.
The BJP leader said that financial assistance of Rs 30 lakh will also be given to the family of Umesh Prahladrao Kolhe who was killed in Amravati in Maharashtra.
Meanwhile, with the situation gradually returning to normal, curfew was relaxed for 10 hours on Sunday in Udaipur.
However, mobile internet services remained suspended.
Curfew was imposed in seven police station areas of Udaipur following the killing of the tailor on Tuesday and incidents of violence.
“The situation is becoming normal in the city. Therefore, it was decided to relax curfew from 8 am to 6 pm,” a district administration official said.
