In the early hours of Thursday morning, two motorcycle-borne assailants allegedly opened fire outside the “24 Hs Fitness” Gym in Paschim Vihar, New Delhi. The incident has raised concerns about security in the area, though no injuries were reported.
Gang Claims Responsibility on Social Media
Shortly after the firing, a purported social media post surfaced in which Anil Pandit, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the attack. In the post, Pandit alleged that the targeted gym belonged to Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa and claimed that the singer had become “too close” to an actor. However, no evidence was provided to support this allegation.
Police Investigation Underway
The police reported receiving information about the firing incident at the gym. Upon initial verification, it was confirmed that two unidentified bike-borne miscreants, who had covered their faces with cloth, fired several rounds at the gym's glass facade. Fortunately, no one sustained injuries during the attack.
The police have formed multiple teams to identify, track, and apprehend the accused. Authorities are also investigating the authenticity of the social media post and the claims made by the gang associate.
Background of the Accused
Anil Pandit is known as an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, a criminal syndicate involved in various high-profile crimes. The gang has previously been linked to extortion and targeted attacks. The motive behind this particular incident remains unclear, and police are exploring all angles.
The incident has sparked discussions about the safety of public places in Delhi, especially those frequented by celebrities. The gym, which is popular among locals, has been cordoned off for forensic examination. CCTV footage from the area is being reviewed to identify the assailants and their vehicle.
No further details have been released by the police at this time. The investigation is ongoing, and updates are expected as more information becomes available.
