Delhi gym shooting
The killing came on the same day as another alarming shooting incident linked to a gym. In Delhi’s Paschim Vihar area, two motorcycle-borne assailants allegedly opened fire outside a fitness centre during the early hours of Thursday.
According to police, the attackers arrived at around 4 am and fired at least seven rounds at the gym before speeding away. The incident came to light around 5.15 am when caretakers reached the premises and discovered signs of firing.
No injuries were reported in the Delhi attack. Forensic experts examined the crime scene, while investigators began reviewing CCTV footage from the surrounding area.
The gym, owned by two Rajouri Garden residents, is associated with a popular Punjabi singer who serves as its brand ambassador, officials said.
Shortly after the firing, a social media post surfaced allegedly claiming responsibility on behalf of the Anil Pandit group of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Police said they are verifying the authenticity of the claim and probing the motive behind the attack.
Police are examining all possible angles, including extortion, gang rivalry and personal enmity. A case has been registered, and efforts are underway to identify and apprehend those responsible.
