Man With Criminal Record Shot Dead Inside His Car In Delhi's Najafgarh

A man was shot dead in his car in north Delhi's Najafgarh this evening. The man died on the spot.

The incident took place around 7 pm today when the man, Neeraj, who had several criminal cases filed against him, was driving when at least three men on a bike fired shots at him.

The police later said the man was a witness in a double murder case in Najafgarh that took place in February last year.

The man suffered bullet injuries to his chest, with blood stains on his clothes. The victim was driving the car and collapsed inside the vehicle.

The police said several rounds were fired at the man. The cops suspect that the Gogi gang could be behind the murder, and gangsters Chintu, alias Harsh Dhankar, who was deported from the Maldives and brought to India and Sanju Dahiya, who lives abroad, may be the masterminds of the murder.

Neeraj had a bounty of Rs 1 lakh, and he allegedly killed someone in 2021. The police said he is associated with the Tillu gang.

The cops are using CCTV footage to identify the attackers. The matter is under investigation and more details are awaited.
