Rajasthan: Shambhulal Regar, Who Hacked Bengal Migrant to Death on Camera, Records New Video From Jodhpur Jail
In one of the videos, Regar also alleged threat to his life, claiming that a convict from West Bengal in Jodhpur Central Jail is conspiring to murder him.
Jodhpur, Feb 19: Shambhulal Regar, arrested for murdering a Bengali migrant labour in Rajasthan's Rajsamand on live camera, recorded another video from the Jodhpur Central Jail, where he is currently held.
The incident is considered to be a major breach of security at the prison, where rape-accused godman Asaram Bapu is also kept. The Rajasthan government has ordered an inquiry into the ordeal.
An FIR has been registered, with the local police sifting through cells of workers at the jail premises to determine whose device was used by Regar to record the new videos.
State Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria said the security lapse would not be tolerated, assuring strict action against the prison officials who would be charged with misconduct.
In the two new videos posted online by Regar, he continued with his rant against "jihadis". Describing the murder of 45-year-old Mohammed Afrazul as an act of valour, Regar said he "gave up his life in the fight against love jihad".
In one of the videos, he also alleged threat to his life, claiming that a convict from West Bengal in Jodhpur Central Jail is conspiring to murder him.
Regar, 36, a father of three, was nabbed on December 7 last year, a day after he killed Afrazul with an axe and burnt his body using kerosene. The entire ordeal was recorded by his 15-year-old nephew.
