Honey traps in the world of espionage are not a novelty. From the military to embassies, enemy nations have used them to extract confidential intelligence. But for the first time in India's capital, Delhi, a gang has resorted to a honey trap to eliminate a gangster from a rival group. What began with 14 bullets ended dramatically with 40.
Yes, we're referring to the shootout on June 18th at the Burger King outlet in Rajouri Garden, Delhi that sent shockwaves throughout the capital. The incident heightened the threat of gang wars in the metropolis. With the opposing gang likely not to remain silent after the murder of their underling, Delhi Police are on high alert. The ruthless gangster Himanshu Bhai and Naveen Bali have claimed responsibility for the horrific murder.
Let’s unravel the sequence of this grisly incident... June 18th, 2024, approximately 9:40 PM. At the Burger King outlet in Rajouri Garden, customers are enjoying their meals. Among them is a couple, with two men seated right behind them. Unbeknownst to the other patrons, a grim plot is about to unfold – masterminded by one of the women present and the two men seated with her.
The fourth individual, a man, is about to become the target of a carefully planned assassination, while the rest of the patrons have no involvement. At 9:41 PM and 54 seconds, pandemonium breaks out as the two men behind the couple stand up and in an action-movie-style, begin targeting the male partner. These men are no ordinary individuals, but shooters from a feared crime syndicate, there with the intention to kill.

The shooters, as per their plan, fire point-blank at the man. Despite what seems to be a missed first shot, the man scrambles for his life towards the counter. The entire outlet erupts in chaos, and within a blink, it empties. The shooters, determined, pursue the man into the delivery area. What follows is a barrage of gunfire – police collecting the casings grow weary, numbering between 38 to 40 spent cartridges at the scene. Unfortunately, the man does not survive.
In the nation's capital, home to VIPs and fresh off the parliamentary elections, such gang warfare is shocking. The story behind this frightful incident provides a glimpse into the heart of Delhi's criminal underbelly. According to police sources, the victim, Aman June, was linked to the notorious Ashok Pradhan gang in Haryana, while the shooters and 'mystery girl' are associated with feared gangsters such as Himanshu Bhai and Neeraj Bawana, notorious rivals.
Shortly after the incident, a post shared on social media by Himanshu Bhai took responsibility for the shooting. He claimed vengeance for the murder of Shakti Dada, allegedly involving Aman, and vowed that the rest involved would soon face their fate. The post revealed that for the 14 bullets that killed Shakti, they returned the grim favor with 40.

This shootout is not just a retaliation for a previous murder – it's also a battle of egos. Gangsters assert their dominance by unleashing more firepower on their enemies. Within hours of the shootout, the post implicated other gang affiliations, hinting at a larger syndicate warfare. This is more than just gang rivalry; it's an incredibly chilling testament to a syndicate war.
The 'mystery girl' spotted during the terrifying shootout and her role have raised questions. In a world where thugs thirst for each other's blood and lay in ambush, what role does this girl play among them? She is not just any girl, but the mastermind who lured the victim to his end. Or, she is the honey trap girl who ensnared the man with her beauty, leading him straight into the jaws of death.

Police believe this girl, identified as Anu Dhankad, who works for gangster Himanshu Bhai, used social media to entice Aman June to the ill-fated meetup at Burger King. Unaware of his impending doom and Anu's true intentions, Aman fell prey to her trap, with the shooters awaiting his arrival.
The shootout at Delhi's Burger King is possibly a prelude to an imminent gang war. Those familiar with the city's underworld anticipate a response from Ashok Pradhan and his allies to the murder committed on behalf of Neeraj Bawana. The cycle of violence and retribution in Delhi's criminal landscape is far from over.
This narrative of bloodshed traces back to the murder of Neeraj Bawana's cousin, Shakti Dada, a figure who commanded respect on the streets of Delhi but could not escape the clutches of crime. The investigation revealed that Ashok Pradhan, an enemy of Neeraj Bawana, orchestrated the hit. This deadly game of gang politics continues to ravage the streets of Delhi, leaving a trail of violence and fear in its wake.
