Later both began to beat and harm the tailor. By the end of the video they even showed the weapon they used to behead the shopkeeper and even threatened to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon after the video went viral on social media, tweeple showed their anger over the matter. Hence, Tharoor urged people to take down the video in order to not let their motives win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the unversed, suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma had made a controversial remark about Prophet Mohammad in a live debate. Following that several Islamic countries did not only demand an apology from India but also the spokesperson was later suspended by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now a horrifying incident has now taken place in Rajasthan\u2019s Udaipur, when a tailor was beheaded in daylight for supporting Nupur Sharma. The incident has also opened doors for communal hate as the culprits belonged to the Muslim community and the victim was a Hindu.
