A "miscommunication" between the alleged shooters of Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi and their handlers over the escape plan from Rajasthan's Jaipur after the killing led to their arrest. The shooters were supposed to board a truck arranged by their handlers but couldn't find it, forcing them to come up with an alternative escape plan involving multiple vehicles and hiding at different locations.
