Sukhdev Singh Murder Case:
In the wake of the Rajasthan elections, a startling incident shook the state, unleashing a cascade of political tensions and criminal activities. The assassination of Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, the National Rajput Karni Sena’s leader, unfolded in Jaipur on Tuesday, leading to gunfire that left two injured. One assailant fell victim to retaliatory gunfire, while two others managed to escape, leaving the entire incident recorded on CCTV cameras.
According to Jaipur’s Police Commissioner, Biju George Joseph, the murder of Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi was meticulously planned. Three individuals arrived at Gogamedi’s residence under the pretext of meeting him, exploiting his security’s information. Once inside, a seemingly calm conversation ensued on the sofa for about 10 minutes.
However, within two minutes, the scene turned violent as two assailants abruptly stood, brandishing pistols and unleashing a rapid 17-round gunfire targeting Gogamedi and his companions. In the chaos, one of the attackers fell victim to Gogamedi’s security team’s retaliatory gunfire, resulting in casualties and capturing the chilling event on CCTV.

The responsibility for this heinous act was claimed by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Social media posts attributed to gang members Rohit Godara and Goldie Barar have gone viral, boasting about their involvement and issuing threats to their adversaries.
The authenticity of these claims, however, remains unverified by credible sources. The Jaipur police are actively investigating the veracity of these posts. Sources suggest that gangster Rohit Godara orchestrated the murder through his associate Navin Shekhawat, orchestrating the barrage of 17 bullets aimed at Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi.
Footage obtained by the Jaipur police illustrates the chaotic scene, capturing the assailants firing indiscriminately at Gogamedi. Another video depicts their escape on a scooter after the assassination, attempting to halt a car unsuccessfully before resorting to shooting and looting a scooter rider.
Following Gogamedi’s assassination, Rajasthan witnessed escalating tensions, especially within the Rajput community, expressing deep anger over the incident. To maintain control, DGP Umesh Mishra issued directives for heightened vigilance across the state, instructing district police chiefs to intensify surveillance and implement stringent measures to apprehend the culprits. Additionally, an appeal was made to the public to avoid rumors, fostering peace and tranquility amidst the upheaval.
