Gang Rivalry Sparks Fatal Shooting in Delhi: Murder Investigation Transferred to Special Cell

The Delhi Police's counter-terrorism unit has taken over the investigation of Aman Joon's murder at a Rajouri Garden Burger King. Joon was shot 38 times by rival gangsters linked to a feud involving jailed gang leaders. The Special Cell aims to apprehend the identified suspects.

The Delhi Police's counter-terrorism unit has assumed control of the investigation into the fatal shooting of Aman Joon, officials confirmed on Monday. Joon, 26, was gunned down by two gangsters at a Rajouri Garden Burger King outlet on June 19, sustaining 38 gunshot wounds.

Police have linked Joon's murder to an ongoing gang rivalry between incarcerated gang leaders Neeraj Bawana and Ashok Pradhan. The fugitive gangster Himanshu Bhau, based in Spain and a close associate of Bawana, claimed responsibility for the killing on social media, asserting it was in retaliation for the 2020 murder of Bawana's cousin, Shakti Singh.

The special cell's Southwestern Zone unit has been tasked with investigating the case and capturing the four identified suspects. In addition, multiple police units, including the crime branch, are involved in the manhunt, conducting raids across Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
