New Delhi: The kin of a man, who became the victim of a shootout in Rajasthan's Sirkar while visiting his daughter in a hostel, has staged a protest demanding justice against the killing.
The deceased identified as Tarachand Jaat is a resident of Chhoti Khatu of Nagaur and was visiting his daughter living in the hostel when he became the victim of the firing incident, reported news agency ANI. A gangster identified as Raju Theth was shot dead on Saturday during the incident by unidentified assailants in Udyog Nagar in Sikar district.
State President of the BJP Kisan Morcha Hariram Rinwa joined the protest staged by a family member of Tarachand Jaat. He targeted the Ashok Gehlot government saying the government should control these types of situations.
The man who suffered bullet injuries in the incident succumbed. The purported CCTV footage from the shootout site showed Theth being shot near the gate of the hostel of a coaching institute under the Udyog Nagar Police station area.
Common People Of The State Are Not Safe: BJP Kisan Morcha
"Almost 400 security forces are deployed for Rahul Gandhi's safety, but the common people of the state are not safe. This type of incident should not be repeated. The administration should take strict action against the people who are involved in this incident directly or indirectly. The state government should control this type of situation," Rinwa said.
Blaming the administration, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Swami Sumedhanand said, "I talked to the SP on the basis of the information I received. This is the result of the carelessness of the administration that this incident took place. I had warned them earlier about the bad situation in the area when a boy was kidnapped before. However, we stand by the victim's family."
The police deployed personnel in Sikar and surrounding areas. Barricades were installed and vehicles were being checked in the area.
After the incident, a Facebook user by the name of Rohit Godara took responsibility for Theth's killing. In the post, Godara claimed he is a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and the killing was executed in revenge on behalf of the attack on gangsters Anandpal Singh and Balbir Banuda. The user also mentioned the names of gangsters Ankit Bhadoo and Monu Bana in his post, the report added. "Four people were involved in the firing. The people responsible for the incident will be nabbed soon. We are investigating the validity of the social media user's post and verifying it," Sikar Superintendent of Police Kunwar Rastradeep said.
