Regar had defended his actions by saying that he had only hacked Mohammad Afrazul, to death so he could protect a Hindu woman from the clutches of ‘love-jihad’.

In January, the Rajsamand police had filed a chart sheet after concluding that Regar had an illegitimate relationship with the woman whom he referred to as his ‘Hindu sister’ in the videos, though he strongly denies this in the second video.

In February, Regar uploaded two videos from inside his cell in the prison, where he was seen speaking like a Hindu fanatic for several minutes, calling upon Hindus to stand united and bring ‘Ram Rajya’ in India.

Even after the incident sparked furore across the country, Hindu groups in Jodhpur had taken out his tableaus on Ram Navami glorifying him as the God sitting on a throne.

Jani has also been arrested in the past for a threatening to murder former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar in a 2016 Facebook post, as per News18.
