In Rajasthan, former Minister Mahipal Maderna passed away on Sunday morning. According to the information received, 69-year-old Maderna was suffering from cancer. According to reports, Mahipal Maderna's name made headlines in the kidnapping and murder case of ANM Bhanwari Devi of Jodhpur district and Maderna was the water resources minister of Rajasthan at that time. He was later removed from his post due to the case. Let me also tell all of you that Maderna had to face ten years in jail in the Bhanwari Devi case and was granted bail by the High Court just a while ago. CM Ashok Gehlot has condoled the passing away of former Minister and senior Congress leader Shri Mahipal Maderna Ji today.
