Two people from Rajasthan’s Rajsamand district are being hailed as heroes after the duo successfully chased the accused behind gruesome murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur and helped police catch the suspects.
Shakti Singh and Prahlad Singh of Taal village near Lasani in Rajsamand received a call from a police friend who sought their help to track the two assailants fleeing on a bike from Udaipur after the murder, a report in Times of India said.
The duo spotted the bike from a bus stand and alerted the police. The two went on to follow the suspects for 30 km in the rural belt of Aravallis and were in contact with the cops the whole time.
The suspects, Gaus Mohammed and Mohammad Riyaz, tried to intimidate them with the cleavers used to behead the tailor. However, in no time the suspects were caught by the police.
The tale of heroism has gone popular and the two met Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday. Rajput Karni Sena national president Mahipal Singh Makrana has requested the chief minister to give Shakti Singh and Prahlad Singh government jobs.
