“Hit on Munawar Faruqui Foiled: Two Gangsters Arrested After Delhi Gunfight” In a dramatic turn of events early Thursday, Delhi Police successfully intercepted an alleged assassination plot targeting comedian and reality‑TV star Munawar Faruqui, arresting two accused gunmen after a fierce exchange of fire in the capital. According to police sources, the arrested suspects — Rahul (29) from Panipat and Sahil (37) from Bhiwani, Haryana — were acting on orders from a larger crime syndicate headed by Rohit Godara, in league with Goldy Brar and Virender Charan. Authorities say the two had carried out reconnaissance missions across Mumbai and Bengaluru to track Faruqui’s movements before arriving in Delhi. In the early morning hours, police set up a trap in the Jaitpur–Kalindi Kunj area after receiving intelligence about suspicious activity near New Friends Colony. When officers signaled Rahul and Sahil to stop, the duo allegedly opened fire, prompting police retaliation. Both suspects sustained gunshot injuries — reportedly to the legs — before being subdued and taken into custody. A motorcycle and firearms used in the encounter were seized. Investigators disclosed that Rahul is already wanted in a December 2024 triple murder case in Yamunanagar, Haryana, and had been evading arrest. Sahil, meanwhile, is believed to face multiple pending financial crime cases in Bhiwani and Sirsa. During interrogation, both suspects reportedly admitted to being instructed by Rohit Godara and coordinating with Brar and Charan from abroad. They said their mission was to eliminate Faruqui, part of a larger gang effort to extend influence into celebrity and entertainment circles. At present, both Rahul and Sahil are hospitalized under police guard, and investigators continue to search for more members of the plotting network. Delhi Police have also confirmed that Faruqui’s security detail is being reassessed and fortified in light of the threat. #MunawarFaruqui #RohitGodara
