Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena Chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi Shot Dead In Jaipur
Jaipur: A prominent Rajput leader in Rajasthan, who also led a fringe outfit, was shot dead outside his Jaipur
A prominent Rajput leader in Rajasthan, who also led a fringe outfit, was shot dead outside his Jaipur residence today. Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, chief of Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena, was right outside his home when two men on a scooter opened fire.
Mr Gogamedi and two of his associates suffered bullet injuries. They were rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared Mr Gogamedi dead. The outfit Mr Gogamedi led is different from Rajput Karni Sena that spearheaded the protests against Bollywood movie Padmaavat. In fact, Mr Gogamedi split from Karni Sena, then led by Lokendra Singh Kalvi, in 2015 and formed his outfit.
Mr Gogamedi, it is learnt, was shot in the head and chest. Visuals from the spot showed a broken door and blood splattered over the floor.
Union Minister and BJP leader Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said he was shocked by the incident. “I have spoken to the police commissioner and asked him to arrest the accused at the earliest,” he said, adding that making the state crime-free is among the priorities of the BJP government that will be sworn in soon. The BJP defeated the ruling Congress in recently held Assembly polls.
