At 10.40 pm, a man wearing a chequered shirt approaches the two and begins firing. While one of the men ducks and runs away, the attacker keeps firing at Shah.

Ankit Chauhan, the deputy commissioner of police, stated that an investigation is now under progress and that a case has been filed in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. The authorities are looking into every avenue connected to the homicide.

"We received a PCR call regarding a firing incident at around 10:45 PM. We learnt about the shooting incident that occurred in GK's (Greater Kailash) E-block. Bullet injuries were suffered by Nadir Shah, the partner gym owner," DCP (South) Ankit Chauhan said news agency ANI.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for Shah’s killing. Gangster Rohit Godara announced via a social media post.
