On Thursday morning, two individuals on motorcycles fired at least seven rounds outside a gym in Delhi's Paschim Vihar area. The gym, owned by two businessmen from Rajouri Garden, is branded under Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa, who serves as its ambassador. No casualties were reported in the incident. The attack was discovered by the gym's caretaker at approximately 5:15 AM, who noticed broken glass and bullet marks and immediately informed the police. Senior Delhi Police officials and forensic teams arrived at the scene to collect evidence, including empty cartridges and other scientific materials. CCTV footage from nearby areas is being reviewed to identify the attackers.
The Lawrence Gang claimed responsibility for the attack through a social media post, stating that Guru Randhawa had been warned to stay away from Salman Khan, whom they referred to as their enemy. The post also threatened action against individuals they labeled as traitors. Police have registered a case and are investigating the incident from multiple angles, including extortion, gang rivalry, and personal enmity. Teams have been formed to track down the perpetrators.
Guru Randhawa is associated with the gym brand '24HS Fitness' as both its co-founder and brand ambassador. He is also linked to the global fitness chain Anytime Fitness, promoting healthy lifestyles in India. The gym chain operates on a franchise model, with over 150 outlets across India.
