A bandh was observed in Jaipur and several other districts of Rajasthan on Wednesday on a call given by Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena to protest against the daylight murder of its chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi at his residence. The police formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the killing and announced a cash reward of Rs. 5 lakh for any information about the two assailants.
Markets, commercial establishments, schools and colleges remained closed in several cities, including Jaipur, Udaipur, Ajmer, Chittorgarh and Bundi, and members of the Rajput community staged demonstrations and took out rallies. Public transport was affected at several places, where the roads were blocked, and the services of Rajasthan Roadways buses were suspended on many routes.
