Northeast Delhi’s Maujpur neighborhood was plunged into mourning after 24-year-old Fayyaz was gunned down outside Mr. King Lounge and Cafe. The Friday night shooting has sparked outrage, with the victim’s family leveling serious accusations against the assailant linked to a soured money lending deal.
According to police, Fayyaz suffered severe head trauma before being shot twice in the chest. Despite immediate medical attention at GTB Hospital, he was declared dead on arrival. A formal FIR has been lodged, and forensic teams are meticulously analyzing the crime scene for clues.
Investigators are poring over surveillance videos, believing they hold key visuals of the attackers fleeing the spot. Local patrols have intensified to prevent retaliation in this volatile area.
Speaking exclusively, Fayyaz’s mother revealed the backstory: her son had extended a loan to the suspect months earlier. Demands for repayment led to verbal abuse and intimidation. ‘He was aggressive every time, but we never thought he’d resort to murder,’ she lamented.
The brother, Salman, detailed the assault: repeated threats culminated in the brutal attack. ‘He came to our home, threatened to kill us all,’ Salman claimed, vowing not to rest until justice is served.
The family had voiced concerns about the man’s behavior before, yet no preemptive action was taken. Now, as Delhi Police vow arrests, the community watches anxiously. This tragedy highlights the dangers of unresolved debts turning deadly, urging better vigilance and mediation in everyday disputes.
