Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday expressed concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state after a fatal firing incident at a luxury hotel in the Bidasar area of Churu left the hotel owner dead and three others critically injured.

Reacting to the incident, Gehlot said on X, "The firing in Churu, which resulted in the death of one individual and left three others injured, has sent shockwaves throughout Rajasthan. It appears that criminals no longer harbour any fear of the law. This kind of brutal killing has instilled a sense of terror among everyone, including the business community."

He further alleged that such incidents are becoming frequent across the state.

"Whether it is Churu, Nagaur, Jodhpur, or any other location, such fearless killings are becoming alarmingly common in Rajasthan. It is high time the Chief Minister at least starts paying attention to the state of governance and law and order," he said.

A 35-year-old hotel owner was killed, and three others were injured when miscreants opened indiscriminate fire at a newly launched hotel in Rajasthan's Churu late on Monday night.

The incident occurred around 12:30 am at a hotel located on Sandwa Road. The hotel had been inaugurated on February 23, Police said.

Unidentified assailants reportedly entered the hotel late at night and suddenly started firing, creating panic at the spot.

The hotel owner sustained critical injuries and was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead. The three injured persons are undergoing treatment.

Police have registered a case and launched a search operation to nab the accused, and further investigation is underway. (ANI)
