A deadly plot against popular Bollywood singer Rahul Fazilpuria was thwarted when Gurugram police arrested five armed sharpshooters following a dramatic encounter on Tuesday night. The joint operation by the Special Task Force and local police resulted in four suspects being wounded during a gunfight on Pataudi Road.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Vinod Pehalwan from Jhajjar, and four Sonepat residents: Padam alias Raja, Shubham alias Kala, Gautam alias Gogi, and Ashish alias Ashu. Police sources confirm these men were operating under the direction of overseas gangsters Rohit Sardhaniya and Deepak Nandal.
The operation began when authorities received intelligence about the criminals' presence near Wazirpur village. Acting swiftly, police teams established a checkpoint on Pataudi Road late Tuesday evening. When an Innova approached the barricade, occupants opened fire on officers attempting to stop the vehicle.
Police retaliated immediately, leading to an intense exchange involving approximately 19 rounds from both sides. Four suspects sustained leg injuries and were rushed to Sector 10 Civil Hospital, while Gautam alias Gogi was arrested unharmed.
Investigations reveal the gang's involvement in the recent murder of Rohit Shooken who was fazilpuria's close friend and financier too. This connection suggests the plot against the singer was part of a broader criminal conspiracy orchestrated by the overseas gangster network.
