New Delhi: A day after the chilling murder of a 26-year-old man in a shooting rampage at a Burger King outlet in west Delhi, terrifying CCTV footage has surfaced, capturing the harrowing moments both before and after the attack. In the video, one of the two assailants disguised as a diner initiates the attack by firing at Aman Joon, the victim identified from Jhajjar, Haryana. In a fraction of a second, panic ensues as customers and staff scramble to escape, witnessing the hitmen relentlessly shoot Joon multiple times at point-blank range.

He was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead, police said, adding that senior officials were at the spot. The man was accompanied by someone who fled the scene when the firing started.

According to the FIR, Aman Joon was targeted with a staggering 38 bullets of three different types inside a Burger King outlet in Rajouri Garden, west Delhi, on Tuesday night. The woman who came to meet Joon also fled, possibly with his mobile phone. This diversity in bullets strongly suggests the involvement of more than two firearms wielded by the attackers. Aman's body was found behind the billing counter, indicating he attempted to escape as the assailants began shooting. Staff at the scene reported the killers appeared to be aged between 25 and 30 years old. 

The Delhi Police suspects that the conspiracy for the killing of a man in a Rajouri Garden food outlet was hatched by fugitive gangster Himanshu Bhau to avenge the murder of a relative of jailed gangster Neeraj Bawana. The killing is now being seen as a consequence of an ongoing war between jailed gangsters Neeraj Bawana and Ashok Pradhan.

According to a senior police officer, the Bhau-Bawana gang used the woman, in her 20s, to call Joon at the food joint. According to another police officer, it is believed that Joon had given a tip-off to Ashok Pradhan about the presence of Bawana’s cousin Shakti Singh in Jhajjar in October 2020.

The attackers had been looking for an opportunity to call Joon somewhere far off his village to avenge Shakti Singh’s killing, the officer said.  

Hours after the murder, a social media post emerged in which fugitive gangster Bhau took the responsibility of the attack, the officer said. The post said the gang had avenged the killing of ‘Shakti Dada’ who was eliminated allegedly by a rival gang.

The post also mentioned the names of gangsters Naveen Bali, Neeraj Bawana, Kala Kharampur, and Neeraj Faridpur. The killings will continue, it also said.

The post also read ‘Bhau Gang since 2020′ and ’14 ke badle 40 goli di hain ginti kar lo’ (gave 40 bullets against your 14, you can count), the officer said. Police are verifying the authenticity of the social media post.

The Bhau gang, which operates in Delhi and Haryana, is notorious for making extortion bids, the officer said. For the unversed, Himanshu Bhau, an associate of jailed gangster Neeraj Bawana, had fled to Portugal in 2022, and has since been running the gang from there, according to police.
