Soon after, the attackers fired on him, killing him instantly.

Days later, police arrested gangster Kuldeep Jaghina and his accomplices from Kolhapur in Maharashtra in the Kripal Singh murder case.

Singh, a close aide of BJP MP from Bharatpur Ranjeeta Koli, sustained seven bullet injuries in the attack.

According to police, Singh was taken to state-run RBM Hospital where doctors declared him brought dead. Koli visited the hospital to inquire about Singh’s health.
