The Delhi Police have arrested two individuals allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang for opening fire outside a gym owned by Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa in west Delhi's Paschim Vihar. The incident occurred on June 11, and no injuries were reported.
Details of the Arrest
The suspects were identified as Arman (19) and Tushar (21), also known as Tashu, both residents of Haryana's Sonepat district. Arman recently returned from Russia after completing his studies, while Tushar is a Class X dropout. They were apprehended in Bahadurgarh following a coordinated operation involving technical surveillance and intelligence gathering.
The Incident
According to police, two motorcycle-borne assailants fired multiple shots at the gym around 4 am on June 11. Local police recovered seven empty cartridges from the scene. A social media post attributed to Anil Pandit of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility, alleging that Randhawa was getting too close to Bollywood actor Salman Khan, whom the gang considers an enemy. The post also stated that Randhawa had been warned earlier to stay away from Salman Khan.
Investigation
Special Commissioner of Police (Crime) HGS Dhaliwal stated that the Crime Branch reconstructed the suspects' movements across nearly 100 km, examined technical evidence, and developed intelligence inputs. The alleged perpetrators were identified as Sahil, Sagar, Arman, and Tushar. Arman is a cousin of Sahil and Sagar, who remain absconding. Both arrested accused have confessed to their involvement in the firing.
Police are questioning the duo to uncover the wider network behind the case. Efforts are underway to arrest the remaining suspects and recover the weapon used in the crime.
