Every district of Rajasthan’s police force is on high alert.

Vikas Sharma, the Ajmer SP, told ANI, “Due to the current circumstances, Section 144 has been implemented throughout the state and the entire district. The organisers have cancelled the Shanti March. We ask the populace to uphold the peace. Police officers’ vacations have been cancelled, and they are expected to return back. They are being used for police enforcement work. We’ll make sure the peace is upheld and punish anyone trying to sabotage it harshly.”

An official with the rank of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) is part of the NIA team, a source said ANI while requesting anonymity, adding that the action was taken in response to a directive from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

After inspecting the crime scene, the NIA team is expected to file a complaint in accordance with the terms of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, according to government sources.
