Gehlot urges Centre to ensure swift justice in Kanhaiya Lal murder case

He said that despite the case being "open and shut," the NIA has failed to secure punishment for the accused even after three years.
"Even after three years, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has not been able to secure punishment for the accused in what he described as an "open-and-shut case." He said that the bereaved family remains distressed due to the delay in justice and urged the central government to take the matter seriously and ensure speedy resolution," he said. Gehlot said, "Our Congress government had provided Rs.50 lakh financial assistance to Kanhaiya Lal's family and secured government jobs for both of his sons to ensure they could sustain their livelihood. Our government had also arrested the culprits within just four hours of the incident."
BJP spokesperson Laxmikant Bharadwaj said, "During Ashok Gehlot's tenure, Kanhaiya Lal had received death threats, yet he was provided no security. Now, terrorists have brutally slit his throat. The fleeing terrorists were caught by villagers and handed over to police, but Gehlot had provided protection to the families of the terrorists..."
