Even as the entire country is still in shock over the brutal murder of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal, who was beheaded by two men, a young man from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh was in for the shock of his life on Friday.
27-year-old Kanhaiya Lal, a resident of Rampur Maniharan was left shocked after he received a hand-written note thrown across the gate of his house.
A prank gone too far?
"Kanhaiya Lal, now it's your turn to get killed, like Udaipur (sic)" the letter read.
The family is still confused if someone was playing a prank on him or if it is a serious threat.
"We have two shops and have no enmity with anyone in the region. The letter came as a shock and caused a lot of tension in the family," Rajeev Maheshwari, the father of Kanhaiya Lal told The Times of India.
Not taking any chances, the family has approached the police seeking security.
Following this, Kanhaiya Lal has been provided with security cover, including a gunman.
A case under section 506 IPC (criminal intimidation) has also been filed by the police, who have also not ruled out it being a prank.
Kanhaiya Lal's killers were produced in court??
Meanwhile, on Saturday, teams from the National Investigation Agency and the Anti-Terrorism Squad presented the four men arrested in the Udaipur tailor's murder case before a court in Jaipur.

Made video to spread it across the world
IANS, quoting sources, reported that one of the accused who was in touch with a Pakistani carried out the beheading on his instructions.
"Ghouse was in touch with nine Pakistani nationals having terrorist backgrounds. He received a number of calls from Pakistan during the murder. His Pakistani handler had given him more terrorist tasks to accomplish. He was also asked to kill a businessman in sector 11 of Udaipur. Two persons -- Mohsin and Asif -- were asked to conduct a recce of all the targets," the sources told IANS.
He also reportedly asked them to record the gruesome act and post the video on social media so terrorist organisations across the world access it.?
