I am trying to achieve the following http "DELETE" in REST -

//url portion
 HTTP DELETE https://xxxxxx/object?name=xyz
 // body portion
 {
 "bodayField":"abcd"
 }

The url portion uses curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,
"DELETE");
And the boday portion uses curl_easy_setopt(curlHandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
frmdata);

Will it work in libcurl?

You can certainly do that, sure. If that's the correct action for your
situation, we can't tell.
