Rahul Fazilpuria shot at in Gurgaon: Man who ‘carried out recce' sent to 5-day police custody
Days after Haryana singer-rapper Rahul Fazilpuria alleged he was shot at in Gurgaon, a city court on Thursday sent the only accused who has been arrested so far to five days of police custody. Identified as Vishal, the 25-year-old Sonipat resident allegedly carried out the recce for the shooting. Around 5.50 pm on Monday, when the 35-year-old singer was leaving the Fazilpur area in his car, men allegedly driving a white Tata Punch – which had initially trailed him – opened fire on him. The bullet had struck a pole, and the perpetrators fled in the same vehicle, according to officers. The Sector 40 Crime Branch on Wednesday arrested Vishal, a resident of Jajal in Sonipat. 'His questioning has revealed that Vishal, along with accomplices, conducted reconnaissance of the victim's routes and locations while staying in various guest houses in Gurgaon. On the day of the incident, he tracked the singer-rapper and shared details with his associates, who then executed the shooting,' a police spokesperson had said. Police added that Vishal was involved in renting the Tata Punch car used in the crime, which has since been recovered. On Wednesday evening, a post surfaced on social media in which a person claimed responsibility for the shooting. The note said the shooting was the fallout of a financial dispute involving Rs 5 crore that the singer allegedly did not return. Earlier on Tuesday, CCTV camera footage had emerged of the Tata Punch car allegedly following the singer. In his complaint to the police, Fazilpuria said that he got into his vehicle and escaped unhurt as the assailants could not chase him due to the traffic. The singer-rapper, who has been promoting Haryanvi folk music, has several hits to his credit. In 2014, he rose to fame with his rap song 'Ladki Kar Gayi Chull', which also featured in the Bollywood movie 'Kapoor and Sons', starring Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, and Fawad Khan. He had also unsuccessfully contested the Lok Sabha election in 2024 from Gurgaon as a Jannayak Janta Party candidate against Congress's Raj Babbar and BJP's Rao Inderjit Singh, who was elected. Last year, he was booked by the Gurgaon Police along with YouTuber Elvish Yadav, for allegedly using rare species of snakes and a .32 bore pistol in a music video. The duo was also questioned by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with allegations linked to money laundering and rave parties.
