An associate of gangster Himanshu Bhau, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for the shooting. Police said they were verifying the authenticity of the claim. A message was circulated on Wednesday in which Sunil Sardhania, an alleged member of the Himanshu Bhau gang, took responsibility for the shooting. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [국가인증] 키성장 인증받은 '이 제품' 2개월치 무료증정 이벤트 곧 마감! 아이클타임 더 알아보기 Undo The message said the firing was intended to warn the singer to repay Rs 5 crore to one Deepak Nandal within a month to avoid severe consequences. The post also mentioned Inderjit Yadav, a close associate of fugitive gangster Bhau. Bhau and Yadav are believed to be managing the gang from abroad. Himanshu Bhau fled to Portugal in 2022 using a fake passport and faces around 35 criminal charges. He is known for firing over 30 rounds at his targets. Police have not yet acknowledged the post and are assessing its authenticity, saying it was not shared through any social media account but via messages in WhatsApp groups under surveillance. "Gangsters post warnings or claim responsibility through social media accounts as the Himanshu Bhau gang did in the past. The gang is known to fire over 30 bullets in their shootouts. The viral message is under scanner," a police officer said. In the message, Sardhania indicated the firing was merely a warning, adding, "If we wanted to kill him, we would have killed him outside his office. We want our money back which was invested by Deepak Nandal through his associates and resources to make Fazilpuria a celebrity. Deepak invested Rs 5 crore for the same purpose. Earlier, he promised to pay back money by selling his land in case things wouldn't work for him." Sardhania also said Nandal wasted 10 years and Rs 5 crore on the singer, claiming that Fazilpuria ignored their calls for two years and flaunted his political influence after gaining popularity. Sources said Fazilpuria's police security was withdrawn after he contested in the Lok Sabha elections from Gurgaon but was reinstated following the shooting incident. The Punch used in the attack is registered to Sushil Kumar, a Sonipat resident and car rental business owner. He rented it to 19-year-old Gautam from Dipalpur village in Sonipat, on July 11 for Rs 2,200 per day.

The men were held in connection with the murder of Deepak Thakran, 30, who was the nephew of rival gangster Manjeet Mahal. On June 27, Thakran and his seven-year-old daughter were out for a walk when the shooters fired eight rounds, killing him. The girl was injured by bullet splinters.
