Gym trainer shot at by bike-borne men in Delhi’s Trilokpuri park, 2 arrested

According to the police, Ravi’s relatives alleged that Sunil Gupta alias Golu, with whom the victim’s family allegedly had long-standing rivalry, is behind the attack that took place around 12.30 am.

While two persons — Vipin and Rohit — have been arrested in the case, Sunil continues to be on the run. A case under sections 109 (attempted murder) and 3(5) (joint criminal liability) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been lodged.

“Ravi’s uncle Virender Yadav is a practising advocate in Karkardooma court. Ravi was earlier involved in an attempted murder case… he had assaulted Sunil Gupta with a knife and danda, for which an FIR was registered on March 22 under Indian Penal Code,” said Apoorva Gupta, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), East.

Sources in the police said the dispute began over a decade ago. Ravi and Sunil were allegedly business associates who fell out over monetary issues.

Tension between the families escalated recently after Sunil’s brother Vipin, who worked as a nursing assistant in a government hospital, reportedly lost his job following complaints filed by Virender Yadav, Gupta said. A heated confrontation between the lawyers representing the two families occurred at Karkardooma court on Wednesday.

Following the incident, former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal took to social media to highlight Delhi’s rising crime rates. “Another morning with heartbreaking news. Bullets are being fired openly. Delhi’s criminals no longer have any fear of law and order,” he posted on X.
