Jaipur wore a deserted look on Wednesday. Instead of the usual hustle-bustle of traffic and tourists on the roads, khaki-clad men and firemen, engaged in taking the blood stains off the road, were seen at work.

Even though curfew has been imposed in just 15 police stations' areas in the district, the entire city bore an eerie silence.
