Delhi Police Special Cell arrested two alleged shooters from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang following a brief exchange of fire on June 11, 2026 [1], [2].
The arrests follow a targeted shooting outside a gym owned by singer Guru Randhawa. The incident highlights the ongoing threat posed by the Bishnoi gang and their tendency to target individuals perceived to have ties to high-profile figures.
The shooting occurred at the 24 Hs Fitness gym located in Paschim Vihar, West Delhi [3], [4]. According to reports, two unknown individuals on a motorcycle fired several shots outside the facility before fleeing the scene [4].
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack [3], [5]. Investigators said the gang targeted the gym because of Randhawa's perceived associations with Bollywood star Salman Khan [6].
Following the incident, the Delhi Police Special Cell tracked the suspects. The apprehension ended in an encounter where an exchange of fire occurred [1], [2]. Reports said both suspects sustained leg injuries during the shootout [7].
There are conflicting reports regarding the total number of perpetrators involved in the crime. Some reports said two suspects were arrested after the encounter [2], while others suggest that four men behind the attack have been taken into custody [6].
Police have not yet released the names of the arrested individuals. The investigation continues to determine if other accomplices were involved in the planning, or execution, of the shooting in Paschim Vihar [3], [4].
“The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack”
This incident underscores a pattern of 'proxy targeting' by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, where associates or acquaintances of their primary targets are intimidated or attacked. By targeting a business linked to Guru Randhawa due to his connection to Salman Khan, the gang demonstrates a strategy of expanding its reach to exert pressure on high-profile figures through their social and professional circles.
