Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena Chief Shot Dead In Jaipur

Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, national president of Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena, was shot dead by unidentified bike-borne criminals in Jaipur on Tuesday.

He was declared dead by doctors at the hospital where he was rushed to. According to reports, four people barged into his house and fired at him. One of his security personnel along with another man sustained injuries in the incident.

"As per initial reports, four people entered a house where Gogamedi was present and opened fire at him. One of Gogamedi's security personnel and another person were injured in the firing," Rajasthan Director General of Police (DGP) Umesh Mishra told PTI.

Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph told PTI that Gogamedi was rushed to a private hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

However, people should not mistake his organisation with Rajput Karni Sena, which had come to light during the protests against Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's 'Padmavaat'. In fact, it is an offshoot of the Karni Sena as Gogamedi had parted ways with the Karni Sena in 2015.

Union Minister and BJP leader Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has expressed his shock over the incident and said, "I have spoken to the police commissioner and asked him to arrest the accused at the earliest,"

He stated that the BJP government will make Rajasthan a crime-free state.
