Gang's claim
Lawrence Bishnoi gang takes responsibility for murder
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the murder in an audio message allegedly released by gangster Hari Boxer. In the message, Boxer said, "I am Hari Boxer from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The murder of Kapil, the Red Gym operator in Hansi...was carried out by us." He named RD Dhaliwal, Harman Sandhu, and Vikram Kadhal as accomplices in the crime.
Conspiracy allegations
Kapil was accused of being a conspirator
Boxer accused Kapil of being a conspirator and supporting an earlier firing incident in Shekhpura Dharikpuriya. He said the gang had warned him twice but he ignored those warnings. The audio message also spoke about a recent firing incident in Delhi, which Boxer claimed was carried out by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The message also contained threats against an unnamed individual who had become close to actor Salman Khan. They warned that no amount of security would protect him.
