New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday arrested another suspect in the murder case of Karni Sena Chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi. The arrest came after the NIA conducted raids at 31 locations in Rajasthan and Haryana. The total number of arrests in the case has reached nine.

The ninth suspect who was arrested has been identified as Ashok Kumar and several arms and ammunition was recovered from his premises in Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan, NIA said. The agency also seized digital devices, including mobile phones, SIM cards and DVRs, as well as incriminating documents related to financial transactions.

As part of its ongoing investigation, the NIA carried out raids at 31 locations, including the houses of the accused persons and several suspects in Rajasthan and Haryana.

It is to be noted that Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, along with another person, was killed and two others were injured when unidentified miscreants opened fire at his Shyam Nagar residence in Jaipur on December 5. One of the injured succumbed to injuries later.

The assailants were later identified as Rohit Rathore from Jhotwara-Jaipur and Nitin Fauji hailing from of Dogda Jatt Mahdendragarh in Haryana. Naveen Shekhawat also died on the spot during the firing and Ajeet Singh, one of the injured persons, succumbed to injuries later. Both Rathore and Fauji were arrested on from Chandigarh December 9.

The case, originally registered by the Rajasthan Police, was taken over by the NIA on December 11.
