Car used in Delhi shooting was stolen from Gurugram hotel

NEW DELHI: The Toyota Fortuner SUV, which was used by Delhi’s wanted gangster Jitender Gogi and his hitmen during the Monday’s shooting in north Delhi’s Sant Nagar, was stolen from the parking lot of a luxury hotel in Gurugram on June 2, police said on Tuesday.

Police, however, are unsure whether the vehicle was stolen by Gogi’s accomplices for executing the attack on his rivals.

More than 100 people were questioned and over a dozen CCTV cameras installed around the shooting spot and the routes taken by assailants were examined on Tuesday. But police remained clueless about the whereabouts of Gogi and his men. Police have learnt that apart from Gogi, four more men were involved in the attack that was aimed at killing four residents of outer Delhi’s Tajpur village of which Gogi’s enemy, jailed gangster Sunil alias Tillu, is a resident.

Two passersby and two residents of outer Delhi were killed and at least nine men were injured in the shooting and the related road accident on Monday.

Of the two outer Delhi residents, one was Gogi’s hitman Sanjeet, who too had sustained bullets in the shooting. The other was the 17-year-old prime target Mukul from Tajpur village.

Police said they questioned Sanjeet’s family members, who claimed that they were not in touch with him ever since they forced him to leave home.
