Two shooters, who killed Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, the chief of the right-wing group Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena, have been identified by the Rajasthan Police. The accused shot him multiple times from point-blank range yesterday in his house in Jaipur while having tea with him.
The police have formed multiple teams to find the accused and have announced a reward of ₹ 5 lakh each for any information that can help them arrest the accused.
Director General of Police, Umesh Mishra, formed a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the murder, which has sparked tensions in the state. The supporters of the Rajput leader have called a Rajasthan bandh today after he was shot dead in his home.
His supporters asked that the accused be taken into custody right once and blocked the Shipra Path outside the hospital. Protests broke out in the districts of Churu, Udaipur, Alwar, and Jodhpur in addition to Jaipur.
The victim had over thirty complaints filed against him and a criminal record at the Gogameri police station in Rajasthan. He had multiple acquittals.
In a Facebook post, criminal Rohit Godara, who is intimately connected to the groups led by Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldie Brar, admitted of being the murderer. According to police officials who spoke to NDTV, Rohit Godara had earlier threatened Sukhdev Godara, and the Rajput leader had lodged a complaint against the thug.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and several governmental agencies in the nation are looking for Canadian mobster Brar. The Punjabi artist Siddhu Moosewala’s murder is another reason he is wanted.
In the attack, Gogamedi and two of his colleagues were shot. After they were taken to the hospital, the medical staff pronounced him dead. During a gunfight, Gogamedi’s assistants also shot and killed one of the attackers, according to the authorities.
