Overview
- Police say gunmen opened fire at club owner Ratan Lubana and an associate outside a Sector 5 venue, leaving both wounded in a late-night attack that occurred early Thursday morning.
- Officers chased the two motorcycle-borne suspects for about 10 km to Ramgarh, where an exchange of fire left the suspects shot in the legs and taken into custody under police guard.
- Investigators recovered two semi-automatic pistols, the getaway motorcycle and spent cartridges and are processing CCTV and other forensic evidence from the club and the chase sites.
- Authorities have linked the attack to an international extortion syndicate run by Rohit Godara after an audio message surfaced on the victim’s phone, but forensic teams are still verifying the recording and digital traces.
- Police say they are probing multiple motives including extortion and gang rivalry and will question the arrested men to trace local handlers and any wider network that supplies weapons and carries out hits.
