Ahmedabad, 2/7: A chemist in Amravati district of Maharashtra was stabbed to death after he allegedly shared a social media post in support of Nupur Sharma, whose remarks on Prophet Mohammed snowballed into a major political issue.
The chemist, Umesh Prahladrao Kolhe, was killed on June 21, and five persons have been arrested so far in this connection, an official said.
The incident is being compared with the Udaipur murder in which tailor Kanhaiya Lal was killed in an apparent act of “vengeance” on June 28.
