Singer-Rapper Rahul Fazilpuria Narrowly Escapes Gun Attack in Gurugram, Police Investigate

Popular Haryanvi singer and rapper Rahul Yadav, widely known as Fazilpuria, reportedly had a brush with danger on Monday evening when unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire on his vehicle in Gurugram. While the incident sent shockwaves through his fanbase, sources confirm that the artist miraculously escaped unharmed, prompting a swift and ongoing investigation by Gurugram police.

The alleged attack occurred on the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) near Badshahpur in Gurugram. According to initial reports, two to three shots were fired at Fazilpuria’s white Thar SUV by occupants of another car that was trailing him. Fortunately, the bullets missed their target, and no injuries were reported. The assailants fled the scene immediately after the purported firing.

Upon receiving information about the incident, Gurugram police swiftly arrived at the location and initiated a probe. While police officials have stated that they are yet to definitively confirm that a firing incident occurred, given the lack of bullet shells or impact marks on the vehicle, they are thoroughly examining all angles. CCTV footage from the area is being reviewed, and eyewitness accounts are being collected to ascertain the exact sequence of events and identify the individuals involved. A case has reportedly been registered, and police claim to have identified the accused and recovered the car used in the crime, with arrests expected soon.

The incident has brought the spotlight back on Fazilpuria, who is known for his hit songs like “Kar Gayi Chull,” “Lalla Lohri,” and “Chori Maar Dalegi,” and boasts a significant social media following. It is also notable that Fazilpuria’s police security cover was reportedly withdrawn recently.

This event comes amidst other recent controversies involving the singer. In 2023, Fazilpuria’s name surfaced in a high-profile investigation concerning the alleged use of snake venom at a rave party, a case that also involved Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav, a close associate of the rapper. Furthermore, Fazilpuria ventured into politics, contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Gurugram on a Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) ticket, though he was defeated by the BJP candidate.

Fans and well-wishers have expressed their relief at Fazilpuria’s safety, with many taking to social media to voice their concerns and demand swift action from the authorities. As the investigation progresses, the motive behind this alleged attack remains unclear, and police are exploring all possibilities, including the potential for old enmities.
