"Revelations will be made when they're nabbed. This is basically a result of a gang war," he added.

An organisation Veer Taj Sena and supporters of Raju Thet have now announced a shutdown in Sikar, Rajasthan following the shootout that happened here earlier in the day. Raju Thet, a criminal as per police, died in the shootout after sustaining bullet injuries. 

The supporters said that they would not accept the body or allow a postmortem until the accused are arrested, reported ANI. 

Two people, including Thet have died in the firing incident. 

A man named Tarachand Jaat also succumbed to bullet injuries in the shootout incident that happened in Sikar, Rajasthan on Saturday. According to ANI, the man had come to meet his daughter who is residing in a hostel near the crime spot.

Reacting to the incident, Rajasthan leader of Opposition GC Kataria said, "Raju Thet was killed by another gang today. We suppressed gang wars during our Govt & it had almost ended.
