Delhi news today: A 35-year-old gym owner was shot dead in public view in South Delhi’s Greater Kailash-1 on Thursday night. The victim, Nadir Shah, was immediately admitted to a hospital, where he later passed away.
According to a report by TOI, Shah was coming out of the gym when he was shot. The police got a call around 10:40 pm at night, and the case is currently being investigated.
According to ANI, the District Commissioner of Police (DCP), South Delhi, Ankit Chauhan, said that seven to eight bullet rounds were fired. Five teams have also been formed for surveillance and other purposes.
Rohit Godara, a close aide of Goldy Brar of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has taken responsibility for the murder in a social media post.
Rohit Godara said he ordered the killing of Nadir Shah after his aide Samir Baba, who is in Tihar Jail, sent him a message that Shah was obstructing their business deals. “If anyone else should dare to do the same, they will meet the same fate,” read the post.
In the CCTV footage of the incident, a man wearing a chequered shirt is seen approaching Nadir Shah and firing.
The shooter then hops onto a motorcycle parked a few metres away and escapes. Bullet projectiles and empty cartridges were also found at the spot, stated reports.
“The attackers came on a two-wheeler, fired on him and ran away. He was immediately rushed to the hospital by his friends but was declared brought dead,” DCP Ankit Chauhan told PTI.
According to the police, Nadir Shah, who owned a business in Dubai, had several criminal cases against him.
He also worked as an informer who knew senior officers in Delhi Police, NDTV reported.
Mint could not independently verify the authenticity of the post and the video.
