Tensions were high in the western Indian city of Udaipur on Wednesday, a day after police arrested two Muslim men accused of slitting a Hindu tailor’s throat and posting a video of it on social media.

The attack represents a dramatic escalation of communal violence in a country riven by deep religious polarisation.
