Police deployed in Indian city after gruesome sectarian killing

Policemen carry out a flag march through a street in Ajmer on June 29, 2022, following the alleged murder of a Hindu tailor by two Muslim men in Udaipur.

Hundreds of police were deployed and mobile internet was cut in an Indian city on Wednesday following the alleged murder of a Hindu tailor by two Muslim men.

Western India's Udaipur was placed under partial curfew to guard against potential sectarian violence after a video purporting to show the attempted beheading went viral. 

Mobile internet access was also cut in other parts of Rajasthan state, and local authorities issued a month-long order banning four or more people from gathering anywhere in the state. 

The dead man's funeral was due to be held later in the day.
