In the video they shot at his shop and uploaded, the assailants-Riyaz Akhtari and Gaus Mohammed-also displayed the bloodsoaked cleavers they had used to hack the tailor, Kanhaiya Lal, to death and said they were "avenging an insult to Islam". They had told the tailor that they wanted to get a dress stitched, and when Kanhaiya Lal was taking measurements, one of them started recording the scene on camera. The chilling moments followed soon after. Apparently, they even tried to behead the victim but failed. The slain tailor's body had 26 injuries.
