Six young men allegedly armed with foreign-made pistols carried out two separate shootings in Delhi and Haryana on June 11, including an attack on a gym owned by singer Guru Randhawa and the killing of a gym trainer in Hansi. Police said the two incidents were part of a coordinated plot that later revealed an alleged link to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
According to investigators, the six men collected a cache of firearms on June 10 from a location between Hansi and Sonipat in Haryana. The weapons allegedly included Turkey-made Zigana pistols and Pakistan-made TT-30 .30-bore firearms. After receiving the weapons, the men were reportedly divided into separate groups and assigned different targets in Delhi and Haryana for the following day.
One group allegedly targeted 24 HS Gym, owned by Guru Randhawa, in Delhi’s Paschim Vihar. Shots were fired at the gym as part of the planned attack, police said. The circumstances behind the selection of the gym as a target are part of the investigation, while authorities have been examining the movements of the accused and the instructions they allegedly received before the shooting.

At around the same time, another group allegedly targeted gym trainer Kapil Redhu in Hansi, Haryana. Redhu was conducting an outdoor training session when two men approached him and opened fire. Police said around 10 rounds were fired during the attack, killing the trainer. The assailants fled after the shooting, triggering an investigation into the identities of those involved and the motive behind the killing.
As investigators examined the two attacks, an alleged connection to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang emerged. Police began tracing the accused, the source of the foreign-made firearms and the network involved in planning the shootings. The use of weapons manufactured outside India has also become a key part of the probe, with investigators seeking to establish how the firearms reached the accused.
The twin shootings have highlighted concerns over organised criminal networks using young operatives to carry out targeted attacks across state borders. Police are continuing to reconstruct the sequence of events from the collection of the weapons on June 10 to the shootings the following day. Investigators are also examining the roles of those who allegedly supplied the firearms, selected the targets and coordinated the attacks.
