Witnesses further reported that two assailants on a scooter opened fire on Shah as he was returning home after closing the gym. The attackers fired more than a dozen rounds at Shah.
Rajendra Sharda, President of the Resident Welfare Association, revealed that Shah, of Afghan origin, had opened the gym six months ago and lived in CR Park.
However, the police have formed five teams to investigate the murder and are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the area. DCP Ankit Chauhan stated that technical surveillance and CCTV footage would aid in resolving the case promptly.
Sources further suggest that Shah was a police informer with connections to senior Delhi Police officials. Unverified social media posts indicate that Rohit Godara, a close associate of Goldy Brar from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the shooting. Godara alleged that Shah’s interference in their business deals prompted the killing, warning that anyone else who obstructs their operations would meet the same fate.
