Series of propaganda followed regarding the murder:
1. Razib was not killed. It’s a hoax.
2. He committed suicide.
---These propaganda lasted for a few hours before the moncho leaders and his family decided to publish the picture of the deceased body.
3. Finally they came out, it is completely okay to kill an atheist!!! The baseline of the propaganda against the moncho, which is still continuing, is that every blogger is an atheist.
