Gym Trainer Vijay Kumar Shot Dead in Aya Nagar

Police say personal enmity is the likely motive as investigators hunt two bike‑borne suspects and scour CCTV.

Overview

  • Vijay Kumar, a gym trainer, was lured outside a gym in Aya Nagar and shot multiple times by two attackers who fled the scene.
  • He sustained multiple gunshot injuries and later died, and his family say the assailants called him out to avoid interior CCTV cameras.
  • Delhi Police have registered an FIR, formed multiple teams, launched raids and are collecting CCTV footage and witness statements to identify the suspects.
  • Reports differ on the number of rounds fired, with accounts saying roughly 10–12 rounds and others about 15, so ballistics and footage will be used to verify details.
  • The killing comes against a backdrop of violent incidents in Aya Nagar this year, including the earlier killing of dairy trader Ratan Lohia, and police are probing possible links while warning of local rivalries that have led to past deaths.
