Gangster's goons sent to kill Fazilpuria, lured victim using call
Rohit Shokeen, who was known as a close aide and financier to Haryanvi singer Fazilpuria, was shot dead on Monday night in Gurugram's Sector 77.
Police say Shokeen was lured to the spot by Deepak Nandal using a WhatsApp call from a UK number, all because of an ongoing ₹60 lakh loan dispute.
Both shooters are on the run
Shokeen was shot at least 15 times by two men dressed as delivery agents—a move apparently meant to send a warning to Fazilpuria, who reportedly owes ₹5 crore to gangster Sunil Sardhania.
After the attack, Sardhania even claimed responsibility online.
Both Nandal and Sardhania are believed to be hiding abroad while police raids continue across Haryana and nearby states.
Authorities are checking if the UK number used was real or spoofed and reviewing CCTV footage from around the scene.
Meanwhile, Fazilpuria is under police protection after surviving an earlier attack last month, but so far no arrests have been made.
