— Vasundhara Raje (@VasundharaBJP) June 18, 2017 Raje also indicated that the death was not a murder by re-tweeting a tweet posted by inspector general (IG) Udaipur which said that scientific evidence did not point to a murder.A group of five government officials allegedly beat to death 55-year-old Zafar Hussein, a social activist and a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist), for trying to prevent them from taking photographs of women defecating in the open at Jagwas Kachchi Basti of Pratapgarh district on Friday..@VasundharaBJP https://t.co/LAGdalvoX9

(@DIPRRajasthan) June 18, 2017According to the local residents, the municipal council were out on a morning round in the slum to photograph people defecating in the open when Zafar intervened, asking the officials not to photograph the women. A fight broke out and Khan was allegedly beaten with sticks.Khan’s older brother, Noor Mohammed, filed a FIR against the officials. Police have registered a case of murder against the five officials.Raje's tweet has sparked an outrage on Twitter. People are condemning her for the post.Raje’s predecessor Ashok Gehlot of the Congress, in a tweet, said, "The CM of Rajasthan seems to have already reached a conclusion even before an inquiry that Zafar Khan was not murdered." He posted a series of tweets criticising the incident.The CM of #Rajasthan seems to have already reached a conclusion even before an inquiry that #ZafarKhan was not murdered. https://t.co/JjjILy4NPW
— Ashok Gehlot (@ashokgehlot51) June 18, 2017What is the need for investigation then? Can the victim's family expect justice in such a scenario? #ZafarKhan #Pratapgarh #Rajasthan
— Ashok Gehlot (@ashokgehlot51) June 18, 2017The BJP should have also invented a theory, how a healthy man suddenly died, to prove he was not murdered
#ZafarKhan #Pratapgarh #Rajasthan — Ashok Gehlot (@ashokgehlot51) June 18, 2017Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot also attacked Raje and tweeted, "'Killed' would have been far too appropriate a word to use for the CM. And going by previous lynching instances, justice is unlikely to prevail."Social activist Kavita Krishnan tweeted, “He didn't just drop dead on a morning walk! Died as a result of lynching by Govt officials!! Arrest Nagar Parishad Commissioner Ashok Jain.""Killed"would have been far too appropriate a word to use for theCM.And going by previous lynching instances,justice is unlikely to prevail https://t.co/eQiMGfaICU

— Kavita Krishnan (@kavita_krishnan) June 18, 2017Raje was criticised by other Twitter users too.Day light murder would have been the appropriate term.
— Sant Nirala (@nirala_st) June 18, 2017Stop this nonsense. He was killed. looking to the past lynching it seems that your Govt is defending the people who lynch. Shame...
— Naishadh Vyas (@naishadhvyas) June 18, 2017Mam it is not demise, it is murder. It happened only because murderer knew their crime will be given cover by ruling govt.

— hariom sharma (@h_sharma22) June 18, 2017Ma'am I think the word you are looking for is 'murder'.. And there have been a spate of such murders in your state.. https://t.co/yqLpssUGH8
— Swara Bhasker (@ReallySwara) June 18, 2017Why can't your response be more humane- was it just an 'unfortunate' event or was it act of barbarity that shld shame us?
— Madhumita Mazumdar (@mmazumdar2014) June 18, 2017Demise= A person's death. Lynch =kill (someone) for an alleged offence without a legal trial. Says Oxford dictionary. Pl to say Lynch
