Jaipur, May 29 -- Constable Sunil Bishnoi, who was grievously injured in an attack by the sand mafia in Jodhpur's Luni area, died late Tuesday night, sparking a political outcry with leader of opposition Tikaram Jully demanding Bishnoi be posthumously given martyr status, state honours and financial compensation to his family along with strict action against those responsible. On Sunday, the constable was critically injured after being run over by a dumper allegedly involved in illegal river sand ( transportation in the Luni police station area. On Wednesday, former chief Minister Ashok Gehlot expressed sorrow over the demise of the constable. He called Bishnoi's killing a reflection of the deteriorating law and order situation in Rajasthan. "This murder is an example of the failing law and order in the state. It appears the police and administration are weakening in front of the mafias, and the public is paying the price," Gehlot said. Leader of Opposition Tika Ram Jully took to social media, calling the incident "extremely painful and shocking." "The death of Constable Sunil Bishnoi, injured in an attack by sand mafias in Luni, is deeply saddening. I pay him my respectful tribute. We urge the government to grant the constable posthumous martyr status, state honours and financial compensation to his family along with strict action against those responsible ," Jully wrote on X. He alleged that illegal mining mafias in Rajasthan have become so fearless and powerful that even police officers are no longer safe. BJP spokesperson Laxmikant Bharadwaj said the state government is committed to maintaining law and order. "The bajri mafia had been operating unchecked for years, but under the current administration, it has been significantly curbed," he stated. Calling the constable's death "unfortunate," Bharadwaj urged that the incident should not be politicised. He assured that the government is taking all necessary steps to prevent such incidents in the future....
