Delhi police confirmed that Vijay Kumar was attacked at his gym in the Fatehpur Beri neighbourhood on Monday morning when two helmet‑clad assailants opened fire, discharging more than a dozen rounds that killed him instantly. Deputy Commissioner Anant Mittal said four men on two motorcycles arrived at Hansa Chowk around 10 a.m., two of whom fired at the victim before fleeing, and that multiple investigative teams have been deployed to apprehend the suspects.
The incident is being examined as part of an ongoing rivalry between the Arun Lohiya and Ratan Lohiya families, which has already produced two murders in the past year. In November 2025, Ratan Lohiya, a milk‑dairy businessman, was shot approximately 69 times in Aya Nagar despite wearing a bullet‑proof jacket, and in April 2024 Arun Lohiya was killed near Chhattarpur Metro Station after a financial dispute escalated into violence. Police have linked the latest killing to possible gangster networks, citing earlier involvement of individuals such as Neeraj Faridpuria and Randeep Bhati, and note that Deepak Lohiya and Vijay’s brother Ajay are currently detained in Tihar Jail.
Family members, including Vijay’s uncle Narender Kumar, described the victim as innocent and highlighted the pattern of retaliatory attacks that have plagued the two families. Authorities suspect that a new set of shooters from the same criminal circle may have carried out the murder, and investigators are probing whether the killing is part of a broader cycle of revenge that threatens public safety in the region.
