A gym in Delhi's Paschim Vihar area came under attack early Thursday after two unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants allegedly opened fire at the premises before fleeing the spot. No injuries were reported in the incident, police said.
The firing took place at the 24 Hs Fitness gym in Pushkar Enclave. Police teams rushed to the scene and launched an investigation, while forensic experts collected evidence and CCTV footage from the area. Authorities are examining all possible angles behind the attack, including the gym's reported association with Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa.
Soon after the incident, a social media post purportedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang surfaced online, claiming responsibility for the firing. The post alleged that the attack was intended as a warning to Guru Randhawa over his alleged closeness to Bollywood actor Salman Khan. Police, however, said they are verifying the authenticity of the claim and have not confirmed any motive so far.
According to investigators, the attackers arrived on a motorcycle with their faces covered and fired multiple rounds at the gym's glass façade before escaping. No casualties were reported. Several police teams have been formed to identify and apprehend the suspects.
The incident has once again brought attention to the activities of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has previously been linked to threats and attacks targeting individuals associated with Salman Khan. Police said the investigation remains underway and all leads are being examined.
