Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday held a meeting with senior officials over the law and order situation in the state a day after the heinous killing of Kanhaiya Lal, who was killed on Tuesday by two men in Udaipur's Maldas street area.
Today the mortal remains of Kanhaiya Lal reached his native place in Udaipur.
Hundreds of people join the funeral procession of the deceased.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has directed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to take over the investigation of the brutal murder of the man who was allegedly beheaded in broad daylight on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Gehlot also said the state government will uncover the "conspiracy" behind the cold-blooded murder of a tailor in Udaipur a day ago.
Speaking to reporters here Gehlot said, "It is not an ordinary incident, we will seriously decipher the conspiracy and links to this killing. I'm going for a meeting and will let you know the outcome." The Chief Minister departed for Jaipur from Jodhpur today.
The Opposition on Wednesday criticised the police for not providing him protection.
Rajasthan LoP Gulab Chand Kataria reached MB Government Hospital in Udaipur, to meet the family of Kanhaiya Lal.
He said, "Police should've provided protection when he asked for it & after his shop was closed for 4-5 days. It was a 100 per failure of the police."
A day after the murder, heavy deployment of police has been made in Udaipur.
