Preliminary investigations suggest an ongoing feud regarding financial matters related to the King Club in Gurugram.
New Delhi: An owner of the Gurugram-based King Club was attacked with iron rods and his car shot at by unidentified assailants in South Delhi’s Dera Mandi Road on Thursday. According to reports, the assailants caught up with the victim, Sunder, in front of Farm No. 21, Dera Mandi Road, where they allegedly shot at his car and attacked him with iron rods before fleeing the scene. “Three empty cartridges were recovered from the spot and Sunder’s damaged car was found abandoned on the roadside,” the DCP said.
Miraculously, Sunder suffered injuries, but no gunshot wounds. He was immediately taken to AIIMS Trauma Center by his family members for medical attention. Police, including the crime squad, responded quickly to the incident and secured the area for investigation.
According to police, a police control room call was received at Fatehpur Beri police station from Rahul, Sunder’s brother, at 8.53 am. Rahul, a resident of Nandu Mohalla, Dera Village, told police that his brother was shot at while traveling from his club in Gurugram to his residence. According to Rahul, Sunder’s car, a white Hyundai Creta, was being chased by two cars with HR-51 (Faridabad, Haryana) registration numbers.
“Harkesh, an acquaintance of Sunder who was present at the spot, also provided additional details,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Chandan Chowdhary said.
Harkesh revealed that the attackers had an old enmity with Sunder and him, which stemmed from financial problems related to the King Club. “The attackers, reportedly from Tigaon village in Faridabad, had chased Sunder from Gurugram and fired at him near Gwal Pahari Chauki,” the DCP said.
Preliminary investigations suggest an ongoing feud regarding financial matters related to the King Club in Gurugram. “Police are actively searching for clues to arrest the suspects involved in the attack. The motive behind the attack and the identity of the attackers are under investigation,” the DCP said.
