The Gurugram Police have initiated an investigation and are scanning CCTV footage to trace the suspects.

He was accused of showcasing a .32 bore pistol and exotic snakes in a music video.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he contested from Gurugram as a Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) candidate but lost to BJP’s Mukesh Sharma by over 1.2 lakh votes. No official motive behind the attack has been confirmed yet.
