The letter revealed alarming information: “As per the intelligence, notorious gangster Sampat Nehra of the Bishnoi gang, presently incarcerated in Central Jail, Bathinda, has orchestrated a scheme to eliminate Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, the president of the Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena. This sinister plan aims to instigate religiously motivated unrest within Rajasthan.”
Additionally, the communication mentioned that Nehra might have arranged for an AK-47 to carry out the assassination through his contacts outside the prison.
The tragic incident unfolded at Gogamedi’s residence, where Rajasthan Police identified Rohit Rathore Makrana and Nitin Fauji as the two perpetrators.
Rohit Godara, involved in 32 cases of murder and extortion, is among the individuals sought by law enforcement in connection to this crime.
Notably, now the Rajasthan Police have sought details from their Mahendragarh, Haryana counterparts about Nitin Fouji, another prime accused in the murder of Gogamedi. Nitin hails from Dongra Jat village of Mahendragarh and is involved in an incident where a group of armed individuals fired upon police officers near Khudana village during the night of November 9.
Nitin Fouji had joined the Army in 2020 as a jawan and came to the village on a two-day leave before the November 9 incident. Since then, he has not joined duty. He was posted with 19 Jat Regiment in Alwar district.
