[Watch] Afghan-Origin Gym Owner Shot Dead In Delhi

Briefing media about the incident, Deputy Commissioner of Police (south) Ankit Chauhan said that information was received regarding firing at GK 1 in which one person was injured and taken to the Max Hospital. “The police personnel on reaching the spot found some bullet projectiles and empty cartridges. On enquiry, it was found that Nadir Shah, a resident of CR Park, had suffered bullet injuries. 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,” Chauhan said, according to ABP Live.

As per police, Shah used to run a gym in GK-1 on a partnership basis. As per media reports, Shah also owned a business in Dubai and has several criminal cases against him.

Meanwhile, according to a report by NDTV, Rohit Godara, a close aide of Goldy Brar of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, took responsibility for the murder in a social media post. In the post, Godara said he ordered Shah’s killing because his aide Samir Baba, who is jailed at Tihar, sent him a message that the gym owner was obstructing their business deals. “If anyone else should dare to do the same, they will meet the same fate,” the post, written in Hindi, read.
