Overview

• Three masked, bike-borne assailants opened fire outside Yadav’s Sector 56/57 home around 5:30 a.m. on August 17, discharging more than two dozen rounds while he was away and injuring no one.
• Gurugram police secured the scene, collected shell casings and video evidence showing three attackers, and say they will file an FIR once the family’s formal complaint is recorded.
• A social-media post attributed to the Bhau gang named Neeraj Faridpuria and Bhau Ritoliya and blamed Yadav’s promotion of illegal betting apps for the attack, but authorities have not verified the claim.
• The shooting echoes a July attack on Yadav’s associate Rahul Fazilpuria and comes against the backdrop of the YouTuber’s 2023 snake-venom case, ED questions and past extortion threats.
• Multiple police teams are combing CCTV networks and forensic leads as part of a widening probe to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
