CP Joshi, the Chief of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Rajasthan, has confirmed that the administration is actively working to apprehend the individuals responsible for the murder of Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, the National President of Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena.
Addressing the tragic incident, Joshi stated, “After this incident, I spoke to the Governor, Chief Secretary, DGP and was in constant touch with the entire incident. The Home Minister was continuously taking feedback about this incident. After that, the entire administration is engaged in further proceedings. The administration is working against such criminals who are involved in spreading gang war in the state,” as reported by ANI.
Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi’s final rites are scheduled to take place on Thursday in his native village, Gogamedi.
Gogamedi was fatally shot in Jaipur on Tuesday, triggering widespread outrage within the Rajput community. The incident prompted the community to initially declare a statewide bandh on Wednesday, which was later called off.
The Rajasthan Police has identified two shooters involved in the killing as Rohit Rathore Makrana and Nitin Fauji. Nitin Fauji hails from Mahendragarh in Haryana. The third assailant, Naveen Shekhawat, was killed during a police encounter at Gogamedi’s residence, and one of Gogamedi’s security guards was injured in the crossfire.
In response to the high-profile murder, two police personnel, including the station house officer (SHO), were suspended on Wednesday in Jaipur.
