35-year-old gym owner shot dead in gang war in Greater Kailash, Delhi; police detain six suspects, including Bishnoi gang members.

In a suspected case of gang war, a 35-year-old gym owner was shot dead by two bike-borne assailants at the posh neighbourhood of south Delhi's Greater Kailash area last night, officials on Friday (September 13, 2024) said.

The Delhi Police Special Cell on Friday detained six people in connection with the case as jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang members are suspected to be involved in the murder.

The police have also suspected the involvement of gangsters from northeast Delhi, sources said.

The victim identified as Nadir Shah, who was facing previous criminal cases, including robberies and attempt to murder, used to run a gym in partnership in Greater Kailash Part 1.

Shah received three to four bullets in a firing done by a person. He was talking to someone outside his Sharx Gym when he was shot with multiple bullets at about 10.44 pm, police said.

A CCTV of the incident surfaced on the social media in which Shah could be seen talking with a person when one of the attackers walked towards him and opened fire at close range.

The attacker fled, as police suspect, on a motorbike on which his associate was waiting for him.
