“Initial findings suggest that the attack was carried out by three individuals riding a motorcycle,” a police spokesperson said. “Further details are awaited as the police continue their probe into the motive and circumstances surrounding the incident.”

The attack marks the second such episode in recent weeks targeting celebrities popular among the city’s youth. Last month, singer and rapper Rahul Fazilpuria came under fire near Sector 71’s Southern Peripheral Road. He escaped unhurt after assailants, arriving in another car, opened fire as he stood beside his SUV. Police later arrested a Sonipat resident accused of conducting reconnaissance for the shooting.

In a separate case earlier this month, Rohit Shokeen, 39, of West Delhi’s Nangloi, was shot dead near the Kherki Daula Toll Plaza in Sector 77, allegedly over a property dispute. Police said Shokeen had borrowed his brother’s car to travel to Noida when assailants on a motorcycle ambushed him, firing seven to eight rounds. His family later found the vehicle parked by the roadside with blood nearby.
