Fitness trainer Kapil Redhu was shot dead outside his gym in Haryana's Hansi by two assailants on a motorcycle.
NEW DELHI: It began like any other morning for fitness trainer Kapil Redhu. Standing outside his Red Gym in Haryana's Hansi, Redhu was supervising an outdoor workout session as a group of trainees began their cardio routine on the steps leading to the fitness centre near Fawwara Chowk. Then, in a matter of seconds, the routine morning turned into a chilling execution captured on CCTV. The footage shows two men arriving on a motorcycle and stopping directly behind Redhu. While the rider remained seated with a helmet on, the pillion rider — carrying a backpack and wearing a cap and mask — calmly got off the motorcycle. Without any visible altercation, he walked towards Redhu and opened fire from close range. According to the timestamp visible on the CCTV footage dated June 11, 2026, the attack took place at 5. 25am. The first shot was fired at 5:25:33am. Over the next five seconds, the assailant pumped nine more bullets into the gym operator. Hit by the barrage of gunfire, Redhu collapsed on the spot. The CCTV footage captures the panic that followed. Startled trainees, caught completely off guard by the brazen attack, are seen scrambling for safety as shots ring out. Police believe the attack was carried out with precision. Despite the repeated firing in the middle of a training session, no one else was injured. Equally striking was the gunman's composure after the shooting. The footage shows him calmly turning back, getting onto the waiting motorcycle and fleeing with his accomplice. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the murder. A social media post from an account identifying itself as "Hari Boxer Sundar Hanshi" surfaced shortly after the murder, claiming responsibility for the attack. In the post, the writer said: "Ram Ram to all brothers. Today, the murder of Kapil Redhu (operator of Red Gym) that took place in Hansi, Haryana — I, Hari Boxer, RD Dhaliwal, Harman Sandhu and Vikram Kridan take responsibility for it. We got this done." The post further alleged that Redhu was involved in earlier firing incidents in Sheikhpura and Dhani Puriya and claimed that he had ignored repeated warnings issued by "Sundar Bhai Hanshi". The message ended with fresh threats directed at alleged rivals and associates, warning that they were being watched and would be targeted soon. The post concluded with the phrases "wait and watch" and "SALAM SAHIDA NU."
