The police have arrested the main accused, identified as Kailash Meena, while search for some other men is going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot said in a tweet, \u201cthe incident was unfortunate and there is no place for such a heinous act in our society. Our hearts goes out to the family members of the victim. The justice will be swift and culprits won\u2019t be spared\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Babulal Vaishnav was the priest of Radhakrishna temple in Bukana village of Sapotara area. The temple land had been donated by the villagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the family members of the victim, the main accused \u2013 Kailash Meena \u2013 along with some other people including Shankar, Namo, Kishan and Ram Lakhan was trying to encroach upon on the temple land.
