Rajasthan lynching: Daylight murder is the appropriate term, says Twitter after CM Raje calls it ‘demise’
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has landed in trouble on Twitter by saying that the death of a 55-year-old social worker in Pratapgarh town was a tragic demise, even though a complaint has been registered against five municipal officers, who allegedly lynched him to death.
The demise of Zafar Khan ji in Pratapgarh is extremely unfortunate. Investigation is on – justice shall prevail. https://t.co/1V9DmV26KY

Earlier on Friday, the group of government officials allegedly lynched 55-year-old Zafar Khan in Pratapgarh town, said a police complaint filed by his brother. The officials were out on a morning round in a slum to photograph people defecating in the open when Zaffar objected, local residents said.
Police said they registered a case of murder against the five officials.
Twitter didn’t take kindly to Raje’s use of the word ‘demise’, saying that Khan was murdered.
Day light murder would have been the appropriate term.
