Gym Trainer Killed in Aya Nagar Shooting

Investigators view the attack as a targeted revenge killing linked to a longrunning property feud with a gangster's social‑media claim under verification.

Overview

  • Two helmeted men on a motorcycle called 28‑year‑old Vijay Kumar out of his gym and fatally shot him near Hansa Chowk on Monday, police said.
  • Delhi Police have registered an FIR, formed multiple teams and carried out raids but have not announced any arrests so far.
  • CCTV footage and witness accounts show two shooters fleeing on a bike whose registration appears fake and heading toward Faridabad, and investigators say the weapons may be foreign‑made.
  • A social‑media post attributed to gangster Himanshu Bhau claims responsibility and is being checked by police to see if it is authentic or linked to the killing.
  • The murder is being probed as part of a multi‑year Aya Nagar property and family feud that produced earlier killings and arrests and raises the risk of further retaliation in the locality.
