Let’s cut through the noise – Kanhaiya Lal’s Murderer’s Roam Free and still don’t face consequences three years later, something’s fundamentally broken. The Kanhaiya Lal murder case isn’t just a tragedy; it’s a blatant expose of India’s failing justice system.
While the butchers who beheaded an innocent tailor rot in jail (for now), their accomplices walk free. Meanwhile, the victim’s family? Left picking up pieces with zero closure. Disgusted yet? You should be.
Blood on Camera: The Day Justice Died in Udaipur
June 28, 2022: Two men walk into a tailoring shop, butcher Kanhaiya Lal in broad daylight, and film it like a trophy hunt. Their motive? A Facebook post. Their justification? “Defending the Prophet” (NDTV Rajasthan).
The chilling part?
- They uploaded the snuff film before police even knew about the murder
- Called local media to brag about their “achievement”

The Great Bail Scam: How Killers’ Friends Won Freedom
Here’s where it gets infuriating:
The Butchers (Still Behind Bars… For Now)
- Mohammad Riyaz Attari – Mastermind, filmed the killing
- Ghouse Mohammed – Held the camera while hacking a man to death
The Walk-Free Club (Thanks, Judiciary!)
| Name | Role | Jail Time | Current Status |
| Mohammed Javed | Alleged scout | 14 months | Bail granted Sept 2024 |
| Farhad Mohammad | Conspiracy accused | 15 months | Bail granted Sept 2023 |
Meanwhile…
- Only 6 out of 166 witnesses examined in 3 years
- No permanent judge assigned – just rotating bureaucrats

The Forgotten Children: Living With Their Father’s Blood on the Internet
Let’s be honest—what kind of childhood is it when your father’s brutal murder video lives online forever?
Kanhaiya Lal’s two sons, once school-going kids, now live behind CCTV cameras, police protection, and constant trauma. Every time they scroll on a phone, they risk stumbling across that horrifying video. Their father wasn’t just killed—his death was broadcast as a message.
And yet, no counseling, no mental health aid, no national discussion around trauma support for victims of public terror.
“We don’t know what to say when they ask why the killers haven’t been punished,” their mother reportedly said in an interview.
That silence? It’s the loudest proof that justice isn’t just slow—it’s absent.
Why This Isn’t Just “Delayed Justice” – It’s Collusion
Former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot dropped a bombshell:
“Had Rajasthan Police kept the case, we’d have a verdict by now. NIA took over and buried it.” (ThePrint Interview)
The smoking guns everyone ignores:
- Pakistani handlers named in chargesheet – zero extradition progress
- Radicalization paper trail leading to banned groups – no follow-up
Bail granted despite terror charges – sets dangerous precedent
The Udaipur Files Movie: Distraction or Wake-Up Call?
The Supreme Court just greenlit a film on the case – but let’s be real:
“A movie won’t convict killers. Only a functional court can.”
While Bollywood cashes in, Kanhaiya’s widow still jumps at every knock on the door. Priorities, right?
Meanwhile, Kanhaiya Lal’s widow is literally pleading with PM Modi to release the film, hoping it sparks public outrage. And yet, she still jumps at every knock on the door. Priorities, right?
Will There Ever Be Justice? (Spoiler: Probably Not)
Best-case scenario: Trial concludes by 2030 (yes, you read that right)
Worst-case: Key witnesses disappear, evidence “gets lost”, killers appeal endlessly
The bitter truth?
- India has 600+ pending terror cases older than this one
- Conviction rate in NIA cases? Just 19% (Government Data)
Even if convicted, death penalties take 15+ years to execute
