The Rajasthan police on Saturday made the first arrest in the killing of the Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi. The accused has been identified as 23-year-old student Ranvir.
According to the police probe, Ranvir had made all the arrangements for shooters Nitin and Rohit in Jaipur. Shooter Nitin Fauji and Ranvir are childhood friends.
Ranvir arranged for Nitin Fauji to stay in a hotel and his acquaintance’s flat in Jaipur, the police said. After the incident, he took Fauji and Rohit Rathod on a motorcycle from Ajmer Road and helped them escape in a Rajasthan Roadways bus from Nagaur depot ahead of Bagru toll plaza.
Earlier this week, the police managed to identify Nitin and Rohit, the two shooters involved in killing Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi.
Rohit Rathore is a resident of Rajasthan’s Nagaur while Nitin Fouji is from Haryana’s Mahendragarh.
The Director General of Police Umesh Mishra formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the killing. The SIT is headed by Additional Director General (Crime) Dinesh MN and a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh for information leading to the arrest of the two accused was also announced.
Gogamedi was shot dead in the living room of his house in Jaipur on Tuesday. He was cremated two days later in his native village in Hanumangarh district, officials said.
The post-mortem of Gogamedi’s body was conducted at the Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital on Wednesday night, said Hanumangarh Additional Superintendent of Police Subhash.
After the autopsy, his body was taken from the Rajput Sabha Bhawan to his native village Gogamedi in the Bhadra area of Hanumangarh where his last rites were performed on Thursday evening, the ASP said.
