In a significant breakthrough, two suspects involved in the murder of Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena chief, Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, have been apprehended in a joint operation by the Delhi Police crime branch and the Rajasthan Police. The shooters, identified as Rohit Rathore Makrana from Jaipur and Nitin Fouji from Haryana, were captured in Chandigarh. Their arrest came hours after an associate was nabbed by the Rajasthan Police in Haryana.

Details:

The shooters allegedly entered Gogamedi's premises with the help of a neighbor, Naveen Shekhswat, and shot both Gogamedi and Shekhawat after a brief conversation. Another local, Hemraj, was also shot, and his two-wheeler was stolen. A childhood friend of one of the shooters, Ramveer Jatt, was arrested for aiding their escape.
