“No security was provided to my family despite threats and repeated requests. We wrote letters on February 24, March 1, and March 25, but nothing happened.
We also learned that on February 14, the Punjab Police wrote a letter to the DGP Intelligence (Rajasthan), informing me that my husband was on the radar of killers.
Despite receiving all such inputs, the Rajasthan DGP and CM Ashok Gehlot did not provide us with any security,” read the FIR copy.
She claimed that the lack of security provided to the Karni Sena chief’s family was intentional, to help orchestrate the killing by ignoring intelligence inputs, making it easier for the killers to act on their threats.
“My husband told me several times that he was getting threats from Lawrence Bishnoi and Sampat Nehra gangs, which have international connections,” she said in the FIR.
