Brazen Shootout in Hindaun City: Jatav Samaj Youth President Survives Assassination Attempt, Marks 3rd Attack in 2 Months

Hindaun City (Karauli): In a glaring display of deteriorating law and order, fearless miscreants orchestrated a life-threatening attack in Rajasthan’s Hindaun City late Thursday night. Hariom Thekedar, the Youth President of the District Jatav Samaj Sudhar Samiti (Karauli-Sawai Madhopur-Dausa, representing 360 villages), narrowly escaped death when armed assailants opened fire on him. The bullet pierced right through his left arm, saving him by a hair’s breadth.

This audacious shootout is not an isolated incident but the third consecutive attack on the 45-year-old community leader in the last two months, raising severe questions about the effectiveness of the local police administration and the safety of citizens.

Ambushed in the Dark: Bullet Pierces Through the Arm

According to the official written complaint submitted to the Kotwali Police Station, Hindaun City, the terrifying ordeal took place on the night of June 11, 2026, at approximately 10:30 PM.

Hariom Thekedar was riding his motorcycle from his residence in Anand Vihar towards Kanjolipura. As he approached the road opposite the cremation ground near Khereta Mod, two assailants lay in wait. One was standing on the road while the other had a motorcycle started and ready. The moment Hariom came within a 10-meter range, they fired. The second bullet struck him, passing clean through the flesh just above his left elbow.

Turned Away by Private Hospital

Bleeding profusely, the injured leader rushed to a nearby private facility, ‘Sai Hospital’. However, citing the medico-legal nature of the bullet injury, the hospital administration refused to provide even primary first aid. He was subsequently rushed to the emergency ward of the Government District Hospital in Hindaun City, where he underwent overnight treatment.

A Chronology of Terror: Third Strike on the Family

The victim asserts that a well-planned conspiracy is being executed to eliminate him. The police complaint highlights a chilling timeline of previous attacks on his life and property:

• April 20, 2026: Assailants fired shots at him with the intent to kill. An FIR (No. 0179) regarding this incident is already registered at the Mahwa Police Station.
• May 19, 2026 (11:45 PM): Unknown masked men pelted heavy stones at his Anand Vihar residence, shattering the glass and breaking the railings before fleeing upon being spotted by neighbors.

Suspects Named and Community Outrage

In his latest complaint, Hariom Thekedar has explicitly raised suspicions against two individuals: Tarachand (a resident of Anand Vihar) and a liquor contractor named Seemendra Beniwal.

The consecutive attacks have sparked massive outrage among the Jatav community and local residents. Community leaders have strongly condemned the police’s failure to act decisively after the previous shootout and stone-pelting incidents. Fearing for the safety of his 70-year-old mother and children, the victim has demanded a completely unbiased investigation, immediate scanning of area CCTV footage, the prompt arrest of the conspirators, and robust police protection.

The local police have registered the case and launched an intensive manhunt to track down the shooters.
