The Nagaur district administration has imposed prohibitory orders below the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) to stop “caste tensions’’ forward of the rallies known as by Rajput and Jat outfits within the district, officers stated.
The rallies had been known as following objectionable feedback made by Nagaur Lok Sabha MP Hanuman Beniwal.
Based on orders issued Thursday, Nagaur Collector and District Justice of the Peace Arun Kumar Purohit stated: “(The) Kshatriya Karni Sena is interesting to organise a Mahasammelan on the district headquarters, Nagaur, on 08.06.2025 and in protest in opposition to this, Tejveer Sena is looking for gathering in village Kharnal. As a result of unfavorable social feedback being made by each the events on social media concerning the above two proposed packages, and with each the packages being organised on the identical day, there’s a chance of mutual battle / caste pressure and legislation and order being affected”.
Citing these circumstances and to keep up peace and legislation and order within the district, the Collector imposed prohibitory order below part 163 of the BNSS. The availability offers with the ability to challenge orders in pressing instances of nuisance or apprehended hazard. As a part of the order, there’s a full ban on rallies, protests and processions, and so forth. until June 20.
The tensions started after Beniwal, primarily seen as a Jat chief, made allegedly objectionable claims in opposition to Rajputs almost about Mughals.
In response, Gujarat primarily based Raj Shekhawat, the self-styled chief of the Kshatriya Karni Sena, known as a Kshatriya Swabhimaan Asmita Mahasammelan “to guard the self-respect of our ancestors, kshatrani, Gods and Goddesses and nice males”. He stated that Beniwal “has harm Kshatriya pleasure” and that it wasn’t the primary time. “Both we’ll create historical past, or develop into historical past ourselves,” he had stated.
Demanding the termination of Beniwal’s Lok Sabha membership and looking for police motion in opposition to him, Shekhawat has been holding conferences in Nagaur during the last couple of weeks to mobilise assist for the rally. An outsider, his marketing campaign acquired a shot within the arm after he met BJP chief Dhananjai Khimsar, son of Rajasthan cupboard minister Gajendra Singh. Nevertheless, Dhananjai indicated that it was a easy dialog since “all are welcome at his place” and that it wasn’t a gathering to chalk out a “technique.” Attacking these spreading “rumours”, he stated that “dialogue is the essence of service and politics.”

Jat outfit Tejveer Sena, which had known as one other rally in Kharnal, welcomed the administration’s transfer to ban the Karni Sena rally.
