Gurugram trader’s murder

• Sachin Goda, a Gurugram-based trader, was gunned down by unidentified assailants near Lakhan Majra town in Rohtak district late on Thursday night
• His mother was also shot at and injured in the attack
• Rohit Godara, who identified himself as a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the murder in a social media post
• In the post, he maintained that Sachin was a cricket bookie and partner of their rivals Kaushal Chaudhary and Amit Dagar
• Sachin was also booked and arrested in connection with cricket-betting along with eight others by the Rohtak police in October, 2023

The call details of the family members of the deceased trader, Sachin Goda, are also being analysed to get to the bottom of the matter.

According to sources in the police, the Special Task Force (STF) of the Haryana Police is carrying out a parallel investigation to ascertain whether the murder was committed by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as claimed by Rohit Godara, a member of the gang in a social media post.

“Though the matter is being investigated by the district police, the inputs of the case are being shared with the STF,” the sources said.

At the level of the district police, DSP (Meham) and SHO (Lakhan Majra) are leading the investigation team, which comprises CIA staff officials also. Several teams have been constituted to nab the assailants.

However, the sources said no clinching clue which could reveal the identity of the assailants or the registration number of their car had been found in the CCTV footage scanned by the investigators so far.
