A recent firing incident took place at a gym owned by singer Guru Randhawa in the Paschim Vihar area of Delhi. Unidentified assailants reportedly opened fire on Thursday, causing damage to the glass façade of the 24HS Fitness gym. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for this attack, asserting that it was motivated by Randhawa’s alleged association with Bollywood actor Salman Khan.

Initial investigations indicate that two men, whose faces were concealed, arrived at the fitness centre on a motorcycle. They discharged multiple rounds before fleeing the scene. This incident has raised alarms within the local community and has prompted a swift response from law enforcement.

Following the shooting, an audio clip and social media post emerged claiming the Bishnoi gang was involved. This information reportedly originates from gang members including Tyson Bishnoi, Aarzoo Bishnoi, and Hari Boxer. In the audio, a purported gang member states that Randhawa was targeted because of his ties to Khan, further suggesting that the attack was merely a “trailer” of things to come.

Police Investigation Underway

Authorities have launched an extensive investigation and have formed multiple teams to identify the attackers. The authenticity of the audio clip and the accompanying social media post remains unverified, as police have not yet confirmed its legitimacy. Nevertheless, they are treating the incident with utmost seriousness given the implications of gang-related violence.

As part of their investigation, police are reviewing CCTV footage from the vicinity and collecting forensic evidence from the crime scene. These steps are crucial in tracing the assailants and understanding the full context of the incident. The presence of gangs engaging in violent acts raises significant concerns for public safety.

At this time, Guru Randhawa has not released any statements regarding the incident. His silence underscores the gravity of the situation and the potential risks faced by individuals linked to high-profile personalities.

Context of Gang Violence in the Region

The firing incident at Randhawa’s gym occurs nearly a month after the Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for another shooting, this time outside the residence of Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh’s manager, Gurpartap Singh Kang, in Karnal, Haryana. That attack was reportedly justified by the gang as a response to allegations against a member of Dosanjh’s team, who was accused of exploiting and harassing women during the singer’s tour in Australia.

This series of violent incidents attributed to the Bishnoi gang highlights a disturbing trend of escalating violence linked to celebrity figures in the entertainment industry. The involvement of such gangs raises questions about the security of public figures and the broader implications for societal safety.

As the investigation continues, the authorities are likely to implement heightened security measures in areas frequented by high-profile individuals. The emergence of gang-related crime in urban centres underscores the need for comprehensive strategies to address gang violence and its impact on the community.
