==Samrau violence==
On the evening of 14 January 2018, a 36-year-old liquor trader, Hanuman Ram Jat, a history-sheeter was shot at and ran over by a vehicle in Samrau. After the murder around 10 thousand Jaat people gathered at Samrau along with few local Jaat MLAs. Tension prevailed at the village due to the villagers being in a strike along with the body of deceased, demanding the arrests of all the accused in this connection. The protesters set many shops and houses of the Rajput people in the village on fire, damaged police vehicles, and also pelted stones. They also destroyed the old Raawla (King Residence); this incident is considered as the failure of Jodhpur Police. After the civil unrest, the Home minister Gulab Chand Kataria, state police DGP and many MPs as well as MLAs visited the village.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nyoooz.com/news/jaipur/1009539/liquor-trader-shot-at-and-run-over-by-opponents/|title=Liquor trader shot at and run over by opponents|website=Nyoooz.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.patrika.com/jodhpur-news/clash-after-liquor-contractors-death-in-samrau-jodhpur-2234752/|title=सुलगा उठा जोधपुर का सामराऊ! भीड़ ने एक दर्जन घर फूंके, इंटरनेट बंद, आज होगा शव का पोस्टमार्टम|website=Patrika.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bhaskar.com/rajasthan/jodhpur/news/RAJ-JOD-HMU-LCL-loot-and-burning-incidents-during-samrau-violence-5793196-PHO.html|title=घर-दुकान बेरहमी से जलाए, बेटियों के ब्याह के गहने तक लूट ले गए|date=17 January 2018|website=Bhaskar.com|accessdate=29 May 2018}}</ref>
