New Delhi. Two unidentified bike-borne attackers opened indiscriminate fire outside the house of businessman and alleged bookie Sahil Jain, alias “Google”, in the Lok Vihar area of Pitampura in the national capital Delhi. The incident took place at around 5 a.m. on Wednesday, 28 October, and about six rounds were fired. The bullets hit the wall of the house and a car parked outside. No injuries have been reported.
According to police, CCTV footage that surfaced after the incident shows two suspects arriving on a motorcycle. One of the attackers gets off the bike and fires at the house and the car. Both then flee the spot. During an inspection of the scene, police found three bullet marks on the car and four to five on the house in front. One live cartridge and two empty cartridge shells were also recovered from the spot.
The north-west district police have started an investigation into the case. The crime team and forensic experts inspected the scene. Police are examining CCTV footage from nearby cameras to identify the attackers and trace their entry and exit routes.
Investigators are also probing the extortion angle. It has emerged that Sahil Jain had allegedly received a threat from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi in 2021. However, police have not officially confirmed any role of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in the current firing.
After the incident, an alleged audio clip also surfaced on social media, in which responsibility is claimed on behalf of the Rohit Godara gang. However, the authenticity of the audio and the claim has not been independently confirmed. Police are investigating all possible aspects. At present, the identity of the attackers and the real motive behind the firing are not clear.
