The victim had a criminal record in the Gogameri police station in Rajasthan and had around 30cases filed against him. He was acquitted in several cases.

Rohit Godara, a gangster closely associated with the gangs of Goldie Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi, has taken responsibility for the murder in a Facebook post. Rohit Godara earlier threatened Sukhdev Godara and the Rajpur leader had filed a complaint against the gangster,police sources told NDTV.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and several states in the country are actively pursuing the wanted criminal Brar, a Canada-based gangster, for his involvement in the murder of Punjabi singer Siddhu Moosewala.
