On Monday evening, around 6 pm, unidentified assailants fired shots at a vehicle belonging to Haryanvi rapper Rahul Yadav, popularly known as Fazilpuria, near Sector 71 along Gurugram’s Southern Peripheral Road. The attackers pursued his SUV, believed to be a Mahindra Thar, before opening fire. Fortunately, no one sustained injuries, and the vehicle didn’t suffer any visible damage.
Police Probe Underway
Gurugram’s Badshahpur police responded quickly to the incident, though initial reports still require official confirmation of the shooting. Investigators noted that no bullet shells have been recovered at the scene. They are examining CCTV footage in the area, interviewing witnesses, and exploring potential motives, such as old rivalries or grudges.
Victim Receives No Injuries, Prompt Action Taken
Despite the tense exchange of fire, Fazilpuria walked away without a scratch and remained unharmed. Local authorities confirmed his security detail had been recently withdrawn, but it is not yet clear if that decision played a role. Police continue to gather evidence to determine whether rounds were actually fired at the rapper or simply into the air.
What Happens Next
- Forensics teams are expected to conduct a detailed sweep of the area to locate bullet casings or other physical evidence.
- Further witness statements and CCTV analysis could help identify the fleeing vehicle and potential suspects.
- Police will also explore Fazilpuria’s recent work and associates as part of the motive assessment.
This alarming incident adds to growing concerns about celebrity safety in shared public spaces. Authorities aim for a swift resolution, but as of now, Fazilpuria remains safe, and police investigations continue in full force.
