In a chilling incident in West Vinod Nagar, Delhi, two unidentified men on a motorcycle fired shots outside Jitender Gupta's home. Police suspect it connects to an extortion threat similar to one involving the Bishnoi gang. Security measures have been heightened as investigations continue.

Two unidentified men on a motorcycle fired several rounds outside Jitender Gupta's residence in West Vinod Nagar, east Delhi, around midnight, sparking concerns of an extortion threat, the police reported on Tuesday.

The incident is suspected to be linked to another case involving the infamous Bishnoi gang. Previously, a gym in Paschim Vihar experienced a similar threat where gang members reportedly demanded a Rs 5 crore ransom via an internet call.
