Karni Sena President Murder: Stay updated on the latest developments in the shocking incident
Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi Murder: According to documents accessed by News18, Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Sampat Nehra, lodged in Bathinda jail, was planning to carry out the attack.
Punjab police had sent an alert to their counterparts in Rajasthan about a deadly plan to kill Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena’s president Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, sources told News18, adding that the inputs were shared in the month of March.
According to documents accessed by News18, Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Sampat Nehra, lodged in Bathinda jail, was planning to carry out the attack. Nehra had reportedly also asked his men to arrange for AK-47.
Sources further said that Rajasthan police has picked up two suspects from Haryana based on inputs from the mobile phone of their accomplice Naveen Shekhawat who was shot dead. Police, however, is still verifying if these two people are the main accused in the murder.
Local reports stated that police has zeroed down on one Rohit Rathore, who is a resident of Rajasthan’s Makrana, and one Nitin Fauji, who is a resident of Mahendragarh in Haryana.
Rajasthan Director General of Police (DGP) Umesh Mishra had said on Tuesday that they have sought the cooperation of its Haryana counterparts.
A purported social media post of Rohit Godara, affiliated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, is going viral online in which he claims to have ordered the killing of Gogamedi as the Rajput leader was supporting his gang’s enemies and was working to strengthen them.
