On Tuesday (December 5), Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi was fatally shot by three attackers in Jaipur, prompting widespread anger within the Rajput community, resulting in a state-wide shutdown on Wednesday. The Rajasthan Police made a significant breakthrough in the case, identifying the two shooters as Rohit Rathore Makrana and Nitin Fauji.
Nitin Fauji hails from Mahendragarh, Haryana. The third perpetrator, Naveen Shekhawat, was killed during a confrontation at Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi’s residence, where one of his security guards was also injured. Earlier, DGP Umesh Mishra formed a Special Investigation Team and offered a reward of Rs 5 lakh for information leading to the arrest of the suspects.
Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi’s death triggered a political dispute, with the BJP accusing the Ashok Gehlot government of negligence. BJP MP Kirodi Lal Meena asserted that the Karniu Sena chief had sought state security due to threats from criminals, criticising the state government for not providing adequate protection. Meena demanded the arrest of the culprits, expressing disapproval of the political stance taken by the Congress. He emphasised the need for collective efforts to address the situation and called for restraint in political statements.

Allegedly, the family had sought security from Gehlot and the DGP, but it was intentionally denied, she alleged.
