Security was stepped up across Rajasthan on Wednesday amid calls for a state-wide bandh, a day after right-wing Rajput leader Sukhdev Singh Shekhawat alias Gogamedi was shot dead by two youths at his Jaipur residence.
A special investigation team has been formed to probe the killing. Police have said the two accused have been identified but are yet to make any arrest. Gangster Rohit Godara alias Rawatdas Swami, who is said to be living abroad and a close aide of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has meanwhile claimed responsibility for the murder.
