The bodies of businessmen Bajrang Lal Bokadia, his driver Vinod Dubey (45), cook Bhola (30) and domestic help Anand Kumar (18) were found this morning on the ground floor of Bokadia's house, police said.
The incident came to light when Bokadia's associate Subhash Sethia, who had come to meet him at around 8 this morning, found the main gate of the house open. When he entered the house, he saw the bodies were lying in a pool of blood and the house was ransacked. He informed the locals who called the police.
"The driver was killed with a sharp-edged weapon while Bhola Singh and Anand had their throats slit. The veins of both of their hands were also slashed," said a police official.
Police said that prima facie it looks as if the assailants were 10 or 12 in number. They captured four of them and then killed them brutally.

According to the police, Bokadia's wife was in Sujangarh at the time of the incident where the family runs two schools.
"It could be a case of armed robbery. But we cannot rule out the possibility of a personal enmity case too," a police official said.
Meanwhile, residents of the area protested outside Boakdia's house, alleging inadequate police patrolling as the reason behind the killings. The protestors also demanded the suspension of the local SHO.
