Double murder witness killed in Delhi gang violence

The attackers, who came on motorcycles, fired several shots before speeding off.

TL;DR

Witness in gang war-related shooting

Tehlan was central to the case involving an earlier gang-related shooting tied to rival groups led by Kapil Sangwan and Manjeet Mahal.
Police believe Tehlan's murder is linked to this ongoing gang war, possibly involving gangster Harsh Dhanakad and others.
Recent weeks have seen more violence between these gangs, putting a spotlight on rising tensions in the city.
