A gym associated with Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa came under attack in Delhi's Paschim Vihar area early Thursday morning. Unidentified assailants opened fire outside the 24 Hs Fitness gym, and a faction of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang later claimed responsibility via a social media post.
Details of the Incident
According to police, two men on a motorcycle arrived outside the gym at around 4 am and fired multiple rounds before fleeing. Investigators confirmed that at least seven shots were fired during the attack. The incident came to light at around 5:15 am when gym staff arrived at the premises and alerted authorities. No injuries were reported.
Claim of Responsibility
Soon after the firing, a social media message allegedly issued by the Anil Pandit faction of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang surfaced online, claiming responsibility. The message reportedly cited Guru Randhawa's growing proximity to Bollywood actor Salman Khan as the reason behind the attack. Police stated that the authenticity of the post is being verified and all angles, including extortion, organized crime links, and personal rivalry, are under investigation.
Background and Investigation
Guru Randhawa is the owner and promoter of the fitness center. This incident has once again brought attention to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has previously issued threats to Salman Khan and individuals linked to him. Forensic teams examined the crime scene and collected evidence, while investigators are analyzing CCTV footage from nearby areas to identify the attackers and trace their escape route. A case has been registered, and multiple police teams have been formed to apprehend the accused. Officials confirmed that further investigation is underway.
