Dairy businessman Ratan Lohia was shot dead near his Aya Nagar home on November 30, 2025
NEW DELHI: A long-running rivalry in south Delhi’s Fatehpur Beri has taken another turn, with police arresting a key conspirator nearly a year after dairy businessman Ratan Lohia was gunned down in a barrage of nearly 70 rounds. The conflict took a deadly turn in May 2025, when Deepak and his associates allegedly opened fire on an SUV near Chhatarpur Metro station. On November 30, dairy businessman Ratan Lohia was shot dead near his home while he was on his way to his dairy in Aya Nagar. His family alleged that nearly 70 rounds had been fired at him.
The footage was sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), which, according to police, confirmed that it had not been tampered with and predated the murder.
Police sources said investigators recovered footage showing Rambir allegedly sitting with the shooters and his relative Kamal before Ratan’s murder. The rivalry, according to police, has now claimed three lives and dates back to a dispute over a plot of land. The incident took place around 10am, according to police.
Arun, who was returning home with his father Rambir, was killed in the firing. Police subsequently arrested three people, including Deepak and Ajay, in connection with the murder. Months later, the violence returned to the Lohia family. Police subsequently arrested a known associate of Ratan, along with other suspects, in connection with the murder. After allegedly confirming Vijay’s movements, the shooters opened fire on him outside his gym. Following raids at several locations across Delhi-NCR, police arrested Deepak, Yogesh and Ajay in connection with Vijay’s murder.
