In a shocking incident that has raised concerns about gang violence in South Delhi, a 35-year-old gym owner, Nadir Shah, was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne assailants in the upscale Greater Kailash area. The shooting occurred around 10.44 PM Thursday night, according to Delhi Police.

Four suspects, said to have provided logistical support, were arrested. Two country-made pistols and eight live rounds were confiscated from them, but the main shooter remains at large. The detainees have been identified as Nitalesh Tiwari, Vishal Verma, Akash Yadav, and Naveen Baliyan.

The killing has sparked speculations about its links to organized crime. Social media posts purportedly from gangster Rohit Godara claimed responsibility, allegedly ordered by jailed criminal Sameer Baba. Investigations continue as Shah's complex criminal background and possible gang relations are scrutinized.
