35-Year-old Afghan-origin gym owner shot dead in South Delhi
PTC Web Desk: A 35-year-old gym owner, Nadir Shah of Afghan origin, was allegedly shot dead in South Delhi's upscale Greater Kailash 1 (GK 1) area on late Thursday evening. CCTV footage captured the chilling moment when a gunman opened fire on Nadir Shah on a busy road. The incident occurred around 10.40 pm when Shah, a resident of CR Park, was talking to another man near parked cars.
A man in a chequered shirt approached them and started firing. While the other man managed to escape, the shooter continued to fire at Shah before fleeing the scene on a motorcycle parked nearby. The Delhi Police have recovered bullet shells and empty cartridges from the spot, with around six to eight rounds fired.
Shah, severely injured, was rushed to Max Hospital by his friends, but was declared dead on arrival.
Rohit Godara, a known accomplice of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Goldy Brar, took responsibility for the murder in a social media post, though its authenticity has not been confirmed yet. In the post, Godara claimed that Shah was interfering in their business, which prompted the killing.
The police said Shah owned a business in Dubai and had multiple criminal cases against him. He was also believed to be a police informer with connections to senior Delhi Police officials. The investigation is ongoing to verify the motive and track down the culprits involved in the crime.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan confirmed the incident, stating that the attackers arrived on a two-wheeler, shot Shah, and fled the scene.
