Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi murder: Security guard succumbs to injuries in Jaipur hospital

Jaipur: The only eyewitness of the daylight murder of Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi died in a hospital last night. Ajit Singh, the deceased, was Gogamedi’s security guard, who reportedly had tried to save Gogamedi from the gunshots. After shooting Gogamedi, the shooters also shot Ajit Singh. Ajit was also admitted to SMS Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Gogamedi was shot dead in the living room of his house in Shyamnagar in Jaipur on December 5. A day after the incident, a special investigation team (SIT) was formed to investigate the murder.

Gogamedhi was associated with Rashtriya Karni Sena for a long time. After the dispute in the Karni Sena organization a long time ago, he had formed a separate organization by the name of Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena. He came into the limelight due to the protests in Rajasthan after the Bollywood film Padmavat and the gangster Anandpal encounter case. Many of his videos regarding this issue had also gone viral on social media.

The Crime Branch of the Delhi Police, in a joint operation with Rajasthan Police, detained three persons, including two main accused, from Chandigarh in connection with the murder of Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, the Delhi police said on Sunday. As per the police, the main accused, Rohit Rathore and Nitin Fauji, are also among those arrested. 

Lawrence Bishnoi gang behind murder

In a Facebook post, gangster Rohit Godara, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has claimed responsibility and said Gogamedi was killed for "backing" his enemies.

"We take full responsibility for Gogamedi's murder. He was killed because he used to help our enemies... He used to work to strengthen them," Godara wrote in a Facebook post and warned his enemies, saying, "They would also meet the same fate soon."
