Assam Man Arrested for Commenting on Facebook in Favour of Kanhayalal's Murder

GUWAHATI: A man from the Hailakandi district of Assam was arrested for commenting on Facebook in favour of the Kanhayalal's murder.

As per reports, police arrested Samsul Laskar from the Katlicherra area of Hailakandi district on Thursday night.

Police have arrested the man on the basis of a case of BJP Yuva Morcha.

Muslim groups and politicians have condemned the murder.

"One cannot take law into their own hands. It is a horrible thing to do. It's inhuman," Asaduddin Owaisi, a member of parliament, told Al Jazeera.

Earlier, on June 30, the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid on Wednesday condemned the brutal murder of a man by two Muslim youths in Udaipur.

In an official statement, he termed the murder "an act against Islam, unlawful and inhuman". "The inhumane incident of the murder of a man named Kanhaiya Lal by two persons named Riaz and Ghous, and that too in the name of the Holy Prophet, is not only an act of cowardice but an act against Islam, unlawful and inhuman. I, myself, and on the behalf of Muslims of India, with all the vehemence at our disposal, condemn this act," he said.

"Islam is a religion of peace. The life of Prophet Muhammad is full of incidents of humanity, kindness, compassion, and tolerance. If both the accused boys had studied the life of Prophet Muhammad, Quran, and Sharia, they wouldn't have committed this inhuman act,'' he added.
