Stop editing whodunits after leaving India (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

shut down

'stop' is the definition.

'editing whodunits after leaving india' is the wordplay.
'editing' indicates an anagram.
'after leaving' is a deletion indicator.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'whodunits' with 'i' removed is 'whodunts'.
'whodunts' with letters rearranged gives 'SHUT-DOWN'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
