In August, the Shree Rajput Karni Sena (SRKS) also alleged that a conspiracy had been hatched against the group after its Rajasthan state president Bhanwar Singh Saladiya was shot dead in Udaipur.
“We believe that there is a conspiracy against the Shree Rajput Karni Sena. It could also have a political angle to it because we are the biggest pressure group that talks about issues impacting the Rajput community,"Mahipal Singh Makrana, national president of the SRKS was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
The Karni Sena is a form of pressure group based in Rajasthan which attempts to keep the interest of Rajputs at the forefront. In recent years, the group and its affiliate subsidiaries have come under controversy for protesting against movies that seemingly target the community or show them in a bad light.
