After carrying out the incident, both the accused Mohammad Ghaus and Riyaz Attari posted an online video. The video of the murder went viral on social media. The incident caused outrage across the country. 

However, only a few hours after the incident, the police arrested both the main accused. But in protest against the incident, various social organisations took out silent processions in different cities of Rajasthan. It took about a week for life to return to normal in Udaipur city.

At the same time, night curfew continues in Udaipur. NIA is probing every aspect of this case in depth. The strings of this incident have now started connecting with Ajmer as well. NIA is eyeing the people suspected in this case.
