The National Investigation Agency on Thursday filed a chargesheet against 11 accused in the brutal beheading of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal Teli by two radicalised members of Muslim community.

The investigation agency filed the chargesheet before the NIA Special Court in Jaipur. The accused have been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.


According to NIA chargesheet, the conspiracy to murder Kanhaiya was hatched by the 11 accused, who were linked to a terror module. They were radicalised and were inspired by incriminating content circulated from within and outside the country.

Among the 11 accused is Mohammad Javed, who according to NIA had conducted recce and passed on information about Kanhaiya's presence at his shop to Riyaz Attari prior to the killing.

Besides Riyaz Attari and Ghous, two Pakistani nationals Salman and Abu Ibrahim have also been chargesheeted.
