November 25, 2022: Internet service was suspended in Bhilwara city for 48 hours after a Muslim man was shot dead and his brother got wounded in the same attack on Thursday.

Four bike-borne assailants opened fire on the brothers to avenge the murder of Adarsh Tapadia that took place six months ago. Additional police force has been deployed in the city as a precautionary measure even as mobs were said to have gathered at various places.

Family members of the victims and their supporters vandalized the hospital after one of the victims of the attack succumbed there during treatment.

His injured sibling has been referred to Udaipur for treatment.

Police force has been deployed in the city at several places, including Mahatma Gandhi crossing, Badla Chauraha, Bhimganj, CT Kotwali. The assailants are being searched for.

In May this year, Tapadia was stabbed to death in the city during a fight that arose out of an old rivalry between two groups.

After his murder, Bhilwara was gripped with fears of communal violence, even as police arrested three minors, as well as half a dozen other people.

On the appeal of Hindu organisations, the city was shut down then.
