A high-profile murder investigation in Haryana has taken a sharp turn following the emergence of a viral social media post claiming involvement from a notorious crime syndicate. The incident, which took place on Rohtak Road in Gohana, involved the fatal shooting of a local property dealer. Authorities are now closely examining the digital claims as part of their ongoing efforts to track down the perpetrators involved in the brazen daylight assault.
Virender Charan Publicly Claims Responsibility
According to the circulating online statement, an individual identified as Virender Charan has taken full credit for the killing while operating from abroad. Claiming ties to the Arvind Gिल्ली, Rana, and Rohit Godara syndicate, the poster asserted involvement in the violent episode. Notably, this same individual was previously linked to the assassination of the Karni Sena president, adding significant gravity to the ongoing security concerns in the region.
Avenging a 2021 Attack as the Stated Motive
The shared message explicitly outlines a retaliatory motive behind the bloodshed. The syndicate claims the hit on Bijendra alias Nanha Pehalwan was ordered to settle scores stemming from a 2021 assault on their associate, Rampal Baroda. According to the details provided in the post, Baroda was initially targeted years prior and was ambushed a second time and severely beaten, suffering broken limbs just as he returned home following hospital treatment for the first incident.
The Fatal Shooting Outside the Office
The deadly attack unfolded on the evening of Friday, November 13, 2026, right outside the victim's office situated on Rohtak Road in Gohana, Sonipat district. As Bijendra alias Nanha Pehalwan was stepping into his car during the evening hours, unidentified assailants arriving on a motorcycle opened indiscriminate fire on him. The attackers pumped 14 to 15 rounds of bullets into the victim before fleeing the scene leaving him mortally wounded.
Open Threats and Ongoing Police Investigation
Beyond admitting to the homicide, the viral proclamation issues a direct warning to rival factions, telling them to prepare for severe consequences. Local law enforcement agencies are thoroughly investigating all angles of the crime, scrutinizing the digital claims, and utilizing local surveillance to apprehend the gunmen while dealing with a spate of high-profile violent incidents across the state.
