A fatal shooting occurred at Mr King Lounge and Café in northeast Delhi's Maujpur on Friday night, around 10:28 PM. The victim, identified as 24-year-old Faizan, also known as Fazzi, was taken to GTB Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Following the incident, an Instagram video emerged where an individual claimed responsibility for the shooting, stating it was an act of revenge for an alleged assault by Faizan several months prior. This individual denied acting on behalf of others and attributed the motive to "old enmity."
Faizan's brother, Salman, however, presented a different narrative to the media. He asserted that the murder stemmed from a financial dispute, claiming Faizan owed money to a father and son who were pressuring him for repayment. Salman also stated that the alleged shooter's father had previously threatened Faizan's life, and the family had filed a police complaint months ago.
Investigators are currently examining the Instagram video and corroborating its contents with other evidence. They are probing all potential motives, including the financial dispute alleged by the victim's family. A case of murder has been registered at Welcome police station.
