Investigation into Triple Homicide at Fitness Facility in Bulandshahr District
Introduction
Law enforcement authorities in Uttar Pradesh are investigating the deaths of three individuals following a shooting incident during a social gathering at a gym in Khurja town.
Main Body
The incident occurred late Saturday night at the RJS Fitness Gym on Subhash Marg. According to police reports, the event was a birthday celebration hosted by the gym operator, Jeetu Saini. The deceased have been identified as Amardeep (35), Manish (32), and Akash (19), all of whom are relatives of Sanjay Saini, the councillor for Ward 24. The sequence of events began around 23:00 hours with a verbal disagreement between Jeetu Saini and Amardeep, which subsequently involved Manish. Following this altercation, Jeetu Saini reportedly exited the premises and returned with a licensed firearm, resulting in the immediate deaths of Amardeep and Manish at close range, and Akash, who was shot in the head while attempting to vacate the area. Procedural evidence suggests an attempt to obstruct the investigation, as the accused allegedly removed the digital video recorder (DVR) from the facility's surveillance system prior to his departure. Law enforcement officials, including Deputy Inspector General Kalanidhi Naithani and Superintendent of Police Antriksh Jain, have deployed six specialized teams to locate the suspect. Furthermore, over 15 individuals have been detained for interrogation, and external CCTV footage is being analyzed to reconstruct the timeline. Regarding the contributing factors, Circle Officer Shashank Srivastava noted the recovery of alcohol containers and tobacco products, suggesting that intoxication may have played a role in the escalation of the conflict. While the immediate cause appears to be the interpersonal dispute during the party, investigators are also examining broader contextual motives. These include a potential historical rivalry concerning a Saini Dharamshala and possible political affiliations involving the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Additionally, authorities are reviewing the criminal history of the gym owner. It has been noted that a person of the same name is currently incarcerated for an attempted murder involving a shooting outside a court on December 2, 2025. Investigators are currently determining if there is a nexus between that prior legal matter and the current homicides.
Conclusion
The situation remains an active investigation with the primary suspect at large and authorities working to establish a definitive motive.
