An Indian state minister has offered a reward of more than $10 million and a prospective killer's weight in gold to anyone who beheads one of the cartoonists who angered Muslims by depcting the Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper, the London Sunday Times reported this week.
The offer follows a Pakistani cleric's reward of $1 million and a car for the killing of one of the cartoonists.
The new, larger reward was announced by Yaqoob Qureshi, minister of minority welfare in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, in a speech to constituents in Meerit, northeast of Delhi.
Protesters then burned an effigy of a cartoonist and Danish flags, the Times reported.
