Kanhaiya Lal Teli (also reported as Kanhaiya Lal Sahu, born {{circa|1982}}) was a tailor from the Dhanmandi area of Udaipur, the father of two sons who belonged to the Hindu [[Teli]] community.<ref>{{cite web |title=Leaders, Muslim Bodies Condemn Beheading Of Udaipur Tailor Kanhaiya Lal Over Prophet Remarks |url=https://www.outlookindia.com/national/leaders-muslim-bodies-condemn-beheading-of-udaipur-tailor-kanhaiya-lal-over-prophet-remarks-news-205456 |website=[[Outlook India]] |language=en |date=29 June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Kanhaiya Lal Sahu murder case: 7 accused in remand at NIA court |url=https://www.patrika.com/jaipur-news/udaipur-kanhaiya-lal-sahu-murder-case-7-accused-remand-nia-court-news-7646146/ |website=[[Rajasthan Patrika|Patrika]] |language=hi-IN |date=11 July 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Misra |first1=Shubhangi |title=Empty streets, 'Jai Shri Ram', RAF – Udaipur prepares for Hindu tailor's funeral |url=https://theprint.in/india/empty-streets-jai-shri-ram-raf-udaipur-prepares-for-hindu-tailors-funeral/1016916/ |website=[[ThePrint]] |date=29 June 2022}}</ref>

On June 11, Lal's neighbor Nazim had registered a case against him over a controversial social media post, stating support for Nupur Sharma, which led to Lal's arrest. Subsequently, Lal was released on bail. On June 15, Lal had filed a request for protection with the local police after receiving death threats.<ref name="nytimes-29Jun22"/> In his complaint against Nazim and five others at Dhan Mandi police station, Lal stated that he was receiving threats from Nazim and others and alleged that the group had circulated his photo within their community on social media with a message that Lal should be killed if seen anywhere or if he opens his shop. The police said that they had mediated and resolved the matter between Nazim and Lal. Kanhaiya then gave a statement to police that he does not want any further action in the case. Lal said that the controversial post was shared inadvertently by his son while playing a game on his phone, and that Lal did not know how to operate a phone.<ref name="TheHindu-PTI 29Jun22">{{Cite news |agency=PTI |date=29 June 2022 |title=Udaipur murder | Kanhaiya Lal had told cops some people were conducting recce of his shop |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/udaipur-murder-kanhaiya-lal-had-told-cops-some-people-were-conducting-recce-of-his-shop/article65581887.ece |work=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref>

Muhammad Riyaz Attari, one of the two accused, had made a video days before the attack on June 17 where he stated his intent for murder for remarks against the prophet Muhammad, to make a "viral" video and his [[Martyrdom video|disregard for further consequences]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Udaipur murder: Killer announced his plan in 'June 17' video |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/udaipur-murder-killer-announced-his-plan-in-june-17-video/articleshow/92557906.cms |website=[[The Times of India]] |language=en |date=June 30, 2022}}</ref>

On June 28, two assailants entered Lal's tailor shop posing as customers. When Lal began taking the measurements for one of them, he was attacked with cleavers at 2.45 p.m. The entire attack was caught on video by the assailants.

While the Barelvi movement, a subsect of the [[Hanafi]]s which is the most numerous in India, is seen as a less stringent strand of Islam as compared to the [[Deobandi]]s, most vigilante beheadings in the region for alleged [[Islam and blasphemy|blasphemers of Islam]] have been linked to the sect.
