Theth, who had several criminal cases against him and was out on bail, had a rivalry with dreaded criminal Anandpal Singh, killed in a police encounter in June 2017.

The police have nabbed five accused, including a minor.

On Saturday, family members of Theth and Kadwasara had refused to accept the bodies and started a dharna outside the government hospital mortuary. Congress MLA Mukesh Bhakar had also sat on dharna.

On Sunday, Beniwal and Sikar MP Sumedhanand Saraswati, too, joined the dharna and raised demands.

The first round of talks failed after which the agitated people marched towards the collector's residence.

Beniwal, BJP leader Sumedhanand and Ladnu (Nagaur) MLA Mukesh Bhakar then held another round of talks with collector Amit Yadav, SP Kunwar Rashtradeep and other officers.

This meeting near the dharna site lasted for nearly three hours and ended on a positive note post which Beniwal shared details of the discussion.

Collector Amit Yadav, too, reiterated the assurances to people present there.

Some of MLA Bhakar's supporters said they wanted to hear from him as he belongs to the ruling party. To this, the MLA said Beniwal had already made things clear and he had nothing to add.

Sumedhanand said the deadlock had ended and that the postmortem of the bodies will be carried out on Monday.
