New Delhi: At least six rounds were fired at a house of a Dubai-based businessman and a car in northwest Delhi’s Pitampura early Wednesday morning.
In 2021, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi had threatened a bookie by the same alias. TOI reported in 2023 how Google and other bookies had paid large sums of money to Lawrence’s group. He had not reported receiving any threats before the shooting. Three bullet marks were found on a car, and four to five bullet marks were reported on a house opposite the spot.

The target is believed to be a bookie operating under the alias “Google”. In an audio clip shared on social media later, Godara threatened Google with consequences and said that this morning’s shooting was just a trailer. A senior police officer said the shooters came around 5am.
No one was injured. Gangster Rohit Godara has claimed responsibility for the shooting. Police identified him as a Dubai-based businessman. The complainant spends most of his time in Dubai. CCTV footage purportedly showed two shooters arriving on a motorcycle, opening fire at a house and the car, and fleeing. A PCR call regarding the firing went to Subhash Place police station Wednesday, following which a police team reached A-Block in Lok Vihar. Police found one live cartridge and two empty cartridge cases at the scene of crime. Google, based in Dubai for several years, returned to Delhi in July. Download the TOI App.
