Farmer leader Shyamlal Jokchand, along with supporters, arrived in Jaipur on Monday to demand accountability for any police officers found guilty. Rituraj was brought to Jaipur after his father, Prakash Lohar, who resides in Dubai, informed them that they had been detained by unidentified individuals. His phone was subsequently turned off. The family later discovered that Rituraj had been admitted to Narayana Hospital in critical condition. He remained in the ICU for 11 days before succumbing to his injuries late on Sunday. The family accuses police of subjecting the minor to coercive tactics, while the Muhana police station claims Rituraj was taken to the station by family members and fell ill there. Police are investigating a complaint alleging that Prakash had collected around Rs 22 lakh under the pretext of facilitating the purchase of cheaper gold from Dubai. Jokchand insists on an impartial investigation and threatens a protest if no action is taken against those deemed responsible.",
