New Delhi: The investigation into the murder of gym trainer Vijay Lohia in south Delhi ’s Fatehpur Beri has led police to Haryana, where a motorcycle allegedly used by the assailants has been recovered.
Investigators are probing whether Lohia’s murder was an act of revenge linked to the 2025 killing. The recovery has prompted police to examine a possible link between Lohia’s murder and a killing reported near Chhatarpur Metro Station last year.
Sources said the motorcycle was recovered from the native village of one of the suspects, who had allegedly been jailed in connection with the earlier case. Police traced the two-wheeler to the Tigaon area of Faridabad during the probe. Police are also analysing CCTV footage, technical evidence and the movement of the suspects before and after the shooting. Police suspect Lohia was lured out of the gym on the pretext that someone wanted to speak with him. As soon as he stepped outside, the attackers allegedly ambushed him and opened fire. Police are continuing efforts to identify and apprehend the assailants.
Investigators found that the motorcycle had been stolen from Sarita Vihar and an FIR had earlier been registered in connection with the theft.
