According to a PTI report, the body of 27-year-old Mohit Patel, the district working president of the Karni Sena, was found in his car under the Kanadiya police station area. At first glance, it appeared two bullets were pumped into his chest from point-blank range, Additional Commissioner of Police Jayant Rathore said.
