More shocking details are tumbling out a day after a horrifying video went online showing a man being brutally hacked to death and set on fire in India for allegedly committing "love jihad".

Police arrested the accused, Shambunath Raigar, on Thursday. Afterwards, it was revealed that the video was recorded by the 14-year-old nephew of the accused.

The person killed has been identified as Afrazul, hailing from Malda district of West Bengal, police said. Earlier, police had identified him as Mohammed Bhatta Sheikh.

Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria has ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case.

A case of murder has been registered and more cases would be registered under relevant sections as and when new facts emerge in this case, police said.

The victim was a labourer in his late 40s. According to the mother of Afrazul, she had spoken to him on Wednesday morning, and soon after that, he was murdered.

She was terrified to see the video of her son's murder and has demanded harshest punishment for the accused.

In fact, when police reached the crime venue on Thursday, dogs and carrion birds were seen feeding on the body.

According to reports, Raigar who was friendly with the victim lured him to come to fields with him where he hit him repeatedly with a long pick-axe and a scythe.

He then poured petrol on Afrazul and set him alight. The entire gory incident was videographed by Raigar's nephew, who is a minor, and uploaded on the Internet. He also left a three-page letter at the site.

Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar said the accused could be seen speaking on issues such as love jihad in the video. He is also seen stating that he was "avenging" the insult being meted to his sister.

According to police, Raigar had bought a new pick-axe with an intention to murder the victim.

Raigar was arrested from Kelwa when he was going to a temple on his Scooty.

SP Kumar said that interrogation of Raigar is on and police are keeping an eye on the law and order situation. Police have stopped all Internet services in Rajasamand. An extra police force has been deployed in and around the town to prevent any untoward incident.

Talking to news agency IANS, Kumar said police received information about a semi-burnt body lying in Ragnagar in Rajsamand district.

Without delay, he along with ASP Manish Tripathi and DSP Rajendra Singh reached the location where they found a badly disfigured body. Immediately the forensics team and dog squad were summoned. The agricultural tool used for murder, the victim's motorbike and his slippers were found at the crime scene.

Terming it a "cold-blooded murder", DGP OP Gelhotra said police will demand the toughest punishment for the accused. "We will ask that the accused be hanged to death," he said while terming the murder as "rarest of the rare case".

He praised the efforts of Rajasthan Police who arrested the accused within 24 hours of the incident.

"Interrogation is on in the matter. New facts are emerging in the case and the investigation is hence proceeding in that direction," he added.

Asked if the murder was aimed at denting the state's harmony, Gelhotra said the murder should not be linked to any such thing as it seemed to have been done by a "psycho person".

The DGP said the police would take all necessary steps to ensure that the atmosphere of peace and tranquillity in Rajasthan is not disturbed.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje condemned the murder and directed that the criminal be prosecuted in the shortest possible time. "This is a deplorable act which needs to be condemned in strongest possible terms," she said.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also condemned the murder. "We strongly condemn the heinous killing of a labourer from Bengal in Rajasthan. How can people be so inhuman? Sad," Banerjee tweeted.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who was in Kolkata for a review meeting on India-Bangladesh border issues on Thursday, refused to make any comment on the issue. "Now you are asking a political question. Thank you very much," he said when asked for his reactions to the incident.

Meanwhile, Afrazul's relatives said: "We want justice. The government must punish the culprit. Hang him! It is a lie that he was involved with a woman. One of the uncles lived with him and he never complained about the alleged relation."

What in the fuck is Love Jihad??
If they start allowing spin-offs, then there's no telling where it will end.

For some context, Love Jihad is the Islamic male tendency to lure a female into converting to Islam by feigning love for them and manipulating them. Of course according to the mainstream view the idea of Love Jihadism is said to be absurd and unsubstantiated, after all Islam has no history of converting non-believers at any cost, even forcibly, right? ;)
For some further context, Islam raped, murdered, and enslaved its way across India and because of that and the current state of Islam and its tendency to force its ideals on others, Muslims and Vedists ("Hindus") don't get along very well in India. All I'll say about that is that Hinduism is incredibly accepting of other faiths, Islam isn't; y'all can guess exactly which side is instigating and agitating.
