A 20-year-old man was stabbed to death allegedly by two persons from another community in Rajasthan's Bhilwara city, prompting authorities to suspend mobile internet services as a measure to maintain law and order.

Right-wing groups called on traders to keep their shops shut as a protest against the late-night incident that occurred on May 10.
