NEW DELHI: Gangster Himanshu Bhau has claimed responsibility for the sensational shooting incident at Burger King in west Delhi’s Rajouri Garden. In an Instagram post, Bhau said it was a revenge killing and more targets were in line. The message ended with “40 for 14”, implying that the target in this case, Aman Joon, was shot 40 times because the rivals had shot Bhau’s aide 14 times.
Sources said that Bhau— who has an Interpol Red Corner notice issued against him — has supposedly reached the USA using the donkey route.He was earlier in Portugal. Intelligence agencies are onto him and efforts are under way to locate him and bring him back. His closest aide, Sahil, was supposedly detained in the US a few weeks ago. Sahil too had a red notice against him.
The Bhau gang posted the message on Instagram around midnight using a newly created account. It was in Hindi and said: “The person killed in Rajouri Garden was involved in the murder of our brother Shakti Dada, and this was an act of revenge. Everyone else involved will also be targeted soon.” In the post, Bhau claimed that he along with Naveen Bali and Neeraj Bawana, both lodged in Tihar Jail, was responsible for the murder. Police have informally interrogated both the inmates in the jail and will seek their custody from court. A manhunt is under way for the shooters.
Bhau (21) has been trying to establish himself as the rival of Lawrence Bishnoi’s syndicate and has recently orchestrated a series of violent incidents in Delhi and Haryana. He has joined hands with Bishnoi’s rivals in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan and has been extorting money from businessmen, liquor sellers and bookies mainly.
Originally a gangster from Ratuali village in Rohtak, Haryana, Bhau has become very active in Delhi in the last one year. In the last six months, Bhau’s henchmen have carried out a series of shootings. Just last month, they had fired indiscriminately at a car showroom in west Delhi.
Bhau’s typical modus operandi has been to first demand money through WhatsApp and then send his men to open fire at the target’s house or office in order to scare him. In every case, his shooters have ensured that they fire over a dozen rounds. In 2022, he executed three killings in a span of 24 days in March. The same year, he got a passport made on forged documents and fled to Dubai from where he went further to Portugal, it is suspected.
