After 26-year-old Aman Joon was shot dead by two armed assailants inside a Burger King outlet in West Delhi’s Rajouri Garden, the woman who allegedly lured him to the popular food joint was spotted at Jammu and Kashmir’s Katra Railway Station on June 20 — two days after the crime — in fresh CCTV footage obtained by the Delhi Police.

The incident is suspected to be the fallout of a gang rivalry, with Portugal-based gangster Himanshu Bhau claiming responsibility in an Instagram post.

Police had earlier said the woman, Anu Dhankar, is part of the Bhau gang and had been tasked to “get close” to Joon so that he is brought to a place where he could be killed by Bhau’s sharpshooters. Hailing from Rohtak, police said Dhankar is a Psychology graduate from a Delhi college and was living in Mukherjee Nagar. Police said she had set up a fake ID on Facebook and Instagram and befriended Joon three months ago.

According to police sources, footage from Katra railway station shows 24-year-old Dhankar, also known as ‘Lady Don’ among her associates, at the railway station at 10 pm on Thursday. Footage shows a woman, wearing a blue scarf around her face, wheeling a blue suitcase and walking briskly towards the tracks.

Police sources said she stayed at a PG in Katra and technical surveillance revealed that she accessed its WiFi service.

Sources in the J&K Police said its Delhi counterpart had shared details/a picture of the woman with them. “During our routine scan of footage of CCTV cameras at the Katra railway station, we saw her… but she had left by then,” said a J&K police source.

Police said they have immediately alerted their units around Katra and also the Delhi Police and other agencies in this regard.
