Power, Protests, Politics

Jaipur: The markets remained closed in Jaipur, Bundi, Ajmer, Sawai Madhopur, Chittorgarh and some other districts while a mass rally was taken out in Udaipur on Wednesday after a bandh call by the Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena to protest the killing of its head Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi. Gogamedi’s supporters have demanded compensation of Rs 11 cr for the family of the slain leader.

The supporters of Gogamedi had given a Jaipur bandh call and gathered in the Khatipura area in the morning from where they moved to other parts of the city asking shopkeepers to shut their establishments. There was no movement of public transport in capital city and roadways buses were also affected, officials said.

Khatipura road in Jaipur was blocked while Rajput community members in large numbers were sitting outside the Metro Mass Hospital where Gogamedi’s body is kept. Similar protests took place in Jodhpur and Udaipur as well but remained peaceful.
