Shambhu Lal

The Rajasthan government on Monday told the Supreme Court that it has written to search giant Google to take down hate videos uploaded by a man accused of hacking and burning alive a Muslim labourer in the state in December 2017.

The Supreme Court has asked the Rajasthan government to explain as to how some videos of hate speech were uploaded on the Internet from Jodhpur jail premises by Shambhu Lal Raigar, who is accused of hacking and burning alive a Muslim labourer from West Bengal.

Shambhu Lal Raigar, who hacked a man to death in Rajasthan, burnt his body and shared the video on social media, was glorified in a tableau during a Ram Navami procession in Jodhpur last weekend.

Shambhu Lal seemed to be like everyone else going about his business in this a lower-middle class neighbourhood of Rajsamand, Raigar Mohalla. He had been unemployed for some time, was married with three children and rarely interacted with his neighbours.
