"Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi was murdered in Jaipur. The killers had come to his house on the pretext of discussing something. In this incident, Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi and one of his bodyguards were shot. An accused accompanying the killers was also shot, who has died. Raids are being conducted at the possible hideouts of the miscreants...We spoke to the Haryana DG, and assistance has been sought. Rohit Godara gang has taken responsibility for the murder; they will be arrested soon," said the Rajasthan DGP.
Simultaneously, Karni Sena activists initiated a sit-in to protest their president's death. Additionally, protests took place outside the District Collectorate Office in Udaipur, with demands for a state-wide bandh. In Jaipur, members of the Rajput community staged a sit-in against the murder, and affiliated outfits supporting Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi called for a statewide bandh.
