The Special Cell of Delhi Police, in collaboration with the Mathura Police, has apprehended another key shooter involved in the murder of a 35-year-old gym owner, who was shot dead in broad daylight in South Delhi on September 12.

According to police officials, the accused, identified as Yogesh, played a pivotal role in the killing of Nadir Shah, who ran a gym in Greater Kailash, Delhi.

The cops revealed that Yogesh was the prime shooter in the incident. He was arrested following a brief encounter on the Mathura highway, during which the police shot him in the leg before capturing him.

Earlier on October 13, Delhi Police had arrested a suspect, Madhur alias Ayan, from Kabir Nagar. Madhur was injured in a police encounter on Bawana Road, where officers recovered a pistol, eight live cartridges, and a motorcycle from his possession.

Both Madhur and Yogesh are believed to be connected to the Lawrence Bishnoi-Hashim Baba gang, a criminal organisation involved in multiple violent activities in the Delhi-NCR.
