After Jaisalmer Farmer’s Killing, Authorities Demolish Accused Properties and Tighten Security

Police name three suspects with conflicting reports on custody status.

Overview

  • Khet Singh, 50, died after being attacked in his field in Dangri following a dispute over deer hunting, according to police and hospital reports.
  • Protests turned violent with arson and stone-pelting, and police used tear gas and lathi-charge as additional forces sealed access to the village.
  • District officials razed five shops linked to the accused and cleared fencing from roughly 150 bighas of encroached land after late-night negotiations.
  • Reports vary on whether all three named suspects—Ladu Khan, Alam Khan, and Khete Khan—are arrested, though their vehicle was seized.
  • Talks with political leaders led to acceptance of key demands, the protest was lifted, and the cremation took place under heavy deployment with multiple detentions reported.
