Gogamedi Killing: A fresh CCTV footage has surfaced on social media in which Nitin Fauji and Rohit Rathore, the prime accused in the murder of Karni Sena chief, are seen at Rewari railway station in Haryana on December 6, a day after they shot the latter dead at his residence in Jaipur.
The two shooters involved in the killing of Gogamedi used public transport, train and taxi to evade arrest, said an official on Sunday. Following an approach from the Rajasthan Police, the Delhi Police's Crime Branch had been tracking the movements of killers for the previous 72 hours.
"Rajasthan Police provided intel that the shooters after killing Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena Chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi on December 5, took a taxi to Didwana in Rajasthan. From there, they boarded a bus to Delhi," the official said as quoted by news agency IANS.
