Who is Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi?
Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, associated with Lokendra Singh Kalvi’s Shri Rajput Karni Sena, gained prominence for leading protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 'Padmaavat' and the Anandpal encounter case. Several videos featuring Gogamedi discussing these incidents have also gone viral. Following a disagreement with the group, he later formed his own Karni Sena.
In a shocking development, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang member, Rohit Godara Kapurisar, claimed responsibility for Gogamedi's murder through a Facebook post, as per a HT report.
Expressing dismay over the incident, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat stated, "I have spoken to the police commissioner and asked him to arrest the accused at the earliest." He emphasized that ensuring the state's safety is a top priority for the upcoming BJP government, which recently triumphed over the ruling Congress in the assembly elections. The BJP is set to take charge soon, and addressing and preventing such crimes will be a key focus for the new administration.
