Six rounds fired at Sahil Jain’s Delhi home, Bishnoi link probed
The Story in Brief
Six rounds were fired at the Pitampura home of Dubai-based businessman Sahil Jain, alias Google, in Delhi’s Lok Vihar area around 5 am on Wednesday (28 October 2026). Two masked men on a motorcycle targeted the residence, with bullets striking a wall, a parked car and a house opposite. No injuries were reported. A live cartridge and two empty cases were recovered, and the Crime Team and FSL inspected the scene.
Police have formed teams and are analysing CCTV footage, tracing the suspects’ entry and exit points. Deputy Commissioner of Police Akansha Yadav said there was no fresh threat since 2021, when jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi allegedly threatened Jain over a call, and no group has claimed responsibility. Investigators suspect an extortion attempt may be behind the attack, though the exact motive remains unestablished. Police continue to probe the involvement of the Bishnoi gang.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Times Now and Hindustan Times lead with the CCTV video and the Bishnoi gang link, while Times of India adds more forensic detail such as the recovery of a live cartridge and two empty cases, as well as bullet marks on a house opposite. All three outlets report the same facts about the timing, number of shots (six), lack of injuries and the 2021 threat, making this uniform straight reporting with no framing differences. The investigation, led by DCP Akansha Yadav, is ongoing with teams analysing footage and entry points. No group has claimed responsibility, and authorities are yet to establish whether the firing was an extortion attempt or another motive.
