The murder of Gogamedi occurred on November 5 when unidentified assailants entered his house in Jaipur and shot him. Following the incident, gangster Rohit Godara, associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the murder through a social media post.
The police revealed that while evading capture, the shooters maintained contact with Godara’s close aides, Virendra Chahan and Danaram, who allegedly orchestrated the murder.
Earlier in the day, the Jaipur Police announced the arrest of another individual named Ramveer Jat, who was identified as one of the conspirators in the Gogamedi murder case. According to the police, Jat facilitated Fauji’s actions in Jaipur leading up to the killing.
The murder was captured on CCTV, which showed two men firing multiple shots at Gogamedi while another individual stood at the door. Gogamedi succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
