The Home Ministry has directed the National Investigation Agency to take over the investigation of the brutal murder of Kanhaiya Lal Teli in Udaipur. The involvement of any organisation and international links will be thoroughly investigated, the home ministry said. 

Curfew remained clamped in seven police station areas of the city on Wednesday and mobile Internet services suspended across all 33 districts of Rajasthan after a tailor was brutally murdered here by two men, triggering stray cases of violence. 

Heavy deployment of police has been made in the city, a day after the gruesome murder of Kanhaiya Lal, the tailor, by two men who had posted videos online that said they were avenging an insult to Islam.

Postmortem of the body is underway at the mortuary of the district government hospital, police said. 

 Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, who was in Jodhpur, returned to Jaipur and will hold a meeting with officers to review the situation, official sources said.
