Didwana (Rajasthan) [India], December 8 (ANI): The driver, who dropped the two shooters off in Sujangarh in his car, on Thursday recounted the events leading up to the chilling murder of Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi.
Speaking to ANI on Thursday, Yogesh Sharma, the driver, said, "I got a call from the boy, who stays with me, that two passengers were to be dropped off at Sujangarh. I agreed. On the way, they asked me to drop them off in Hisar. I refused and dropped them off in Sujangarh instead."
"From the Sujangarh bus stand, they boarded a private bus. They were talking to me very normally," the driver recalled.
"The next morning, when I learnt about the murder and saw their faces in the news, I was convinced that these were the same men whom I dropped off in Sujangarh at night," Sharma told ANI on Thursday.
