Armed men open fire at Gurgaon builder’s office at Sector 45, none injured

According to sources, at least five armed and masked gunmen scaled the main gate of MNR Buildmark, near the Millennium City Centre Metro Station, around 9.20 pm and fired a barrage of 25 to 30 rounds, shattering the glass windows of the building.

The accused also allegedly damaged a luxury car parked in the compound before fleeing, the police said.

Gurugram police rushed to the location, cordoned off the area, and deployed forensic teams to examine the site.

More than 30 bullet shells were recovered from the spot, the police said.

CCTV footage from the office and surrounding areas is being reviewed to identify the assailants and their escape route, officials said.

A search operation has been launched in nearby localities, and security has been heightened in the sector.

Gangster Deepak Nandal, through a social media post, has claimed responsibility for the shooting at the building, allegedly to target Rohit Raheja, a partner of the firm.

A portion of the post in Hindi read, “Greetings to all, I am Deepak Nandal, who got the firing done at MNR. The reason is that Rohit Raheja’s relative Nitin Talwar has been withholding my money since 2019, along with his accomplices. This is a warning to all; whoever withholds my money and troubles me will be killed”.

The police said they are verifying the claims.

Nandal’s name had earlier surfaced on social media when a person named Sunil Sardhania claimed responsibility for shooting at Haryanvi singer-rapper Rahul Fazilpuria. The note stated that the shooting was a result of Fazilpuria’s financial dispute with Deepak Nandal, who had allegedly invested Rs 5 crores to make the rapper a celebrity.
