Dynamic rendering of D3 charts - D3.js selectAll function is not working when Lightning Locker is enabled

Question

In our application, we are using D3.js to dynamically altering SVG components using the code as below.

    linkContainer.selectAll("line").remove();        
    var link = self.drawLinks(linkContainer, links);        
    self.context.nodeContainer.selectAll("g").remove();

Here, once we enable locker service, i think we can't grab line tags and thus selectAll function in not valid anymore. We are facing below error.

   Error in $A.getCallback() [linkContainer.selectAll is not a function]

Thanks for helping on this one.
