West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee condemned the “inhuman” act while Islam’s distraught family demanded a public hanging of the accused. We strongly condemn the heinous killing of a labourer from Bengal in Rajasthan. Strict action will be taken against him (the perpetrator) once caught,” Kataria told a news agency before Regar was arrested. “Prima facie, it appears that Regar killed the man and the man was dead when he set the body on fire,” Rajsamand superintendent of police said Manoj Kumar said. Raje has been accused by opposition and critics of not condemning such hate attacks, a charge she denies.
