Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut recently took to her Instagram handle and condemned the beheading of Udaipur man Kanhaiya Lal for allegedly supporting former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, who had talked about Prophet Mohammad.
Kangana’s post read: "This man was beheaded in Udaipur today for supporting Nupur Sharma and jihadis made a video of the beheading. They forcefully entered his shop and chanted slogans of sar tan je juda... all this in the name of God! They beheaded Kanhaiya in Udaipur in the name of God... and then posed like this. Also made several videos I don't have courage or see those videos, I am numb..."
The beheading has caused civil unrest with all political parties, and religious groups condemning the brutal killing. The killers released a video clip claiming responsibility for the incident.
Despicable and utterly condemnable.. The perpetrators should be dealt with promptly and strictly, as per law! Heinous crime.. Unjustifiable!

As one often says.. if you want to kill in the name of your God, start with yourself!
Sick sick monsters! #UdaipurHorror https://t.co/bvf5T2sr0l
The tailor Kanhaiya Lal, who was beheaded, was recently arrested by the police because of the same post. At 8 pm, curfew was declared in seven police stations in Udaipur city, reported Hindustan Times.
Swara, on the other hand, wrote, "The perpetrators should be dealt with promptly and strictly, as per law! Heinous crime.. Unjustifiable! As one often says.. if you want to kill in the name of your God, start with yourself! Sick sick monsters!"
Meanwhile, Gauahar Khan wrote, "Sickened to my stomach. By losers being the flag bearers of religion . All religions included , the murderers who killed a man over a post should be dealt with with extreme punishment. Is this the way to reperesent ur faith ?? . Disgusting! Criminals . All alike"
I’d say this is a wake up call for all those who help paint followers of #Islam in #India as victims, instead of encouraging them to introspect and address the problem of #fundamentalism & extremism within, but you can’t wake up someone pretending to be asleep. #Udaipur https://t.co/cWi3Vek7Zj
