										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a man, Adarsh Tapdiya, was allegedly stabbed to death over personal hatred, authorities in Rajasthan&#8217;s Bhilwara have blocked internet connections for 24 hours, causing communal unrest in the district.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The man, who was around 19 years old, was slain late Tuesday, according to Bhilwara District Collector Ashish Modi. Modi told: “Prima facie it seems to be a case of personal enmity between teenagers. We have detained three accused in the case.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Officials claim that all three males seized in connection with the murder of Tapdiya are Muslims. Apart from the police force, Modi stated that the district has sufficient personnel from the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary (RAC) and the Special Task Force (STF).</p>
