Later, on 4 August, Rohit Shokeen, a close associate of the singer, was shot dead near Palm Hills in Sector 77 by two masked attackers. Shokeen, a property dealer from Delhi, was hit by about 15 bullets and suffered severe injuries, reported TOI. Sardhania claimed the murder was part of a dispute over money Fazilpuria allegedly owed Nandal. Social media posts from Sardhania threatened Fazilpuria and named Nandal and another associate, Rao Inderjeet Yadav. The attacks stemmed from a fallout between Fazilpuria and Nandal, who had previously produced his songs. Shokeen had reportedly guaranteed some of Fazilpuria’s financial dealings with Nandal, though the singer denies owing any money. Sardhania recently returned to India from Zurich and was arrested at Delhi Airport by the Gurgaon Crime Branch. He had been hiding in Costa Rica on a fake passport. Police confirmed that Sardhania and Nandal had parted ways two months ago. Authorities said this arrest is a major blow to their criminal network, and Sardhania will be interrogated for links to other crimes.
