In Noida Sector 104, a man named Suraj Bhan was shot inside his car on Friday by three individuals on bikes. The incident happened in broad daylight as Suraj Bhan was returning from a gym. The attackers fired five rounds and quickly fled the scene. Police responded promptly upon receiving the report. Suraj Bhan was taken to the hospital but unfortunately did not survive. His body has been sent for an autopsy, and the police have registered a murder case related to the shooting.

Suraj Mann was an Air India crew member, according to police sources. Two people, identified as Dheeraj Mann and Mannu, were arrested by Noida Police on Saturday in connection with the case. The shooters had fired five rounds at Suraj Mann.

Suraj Mann was the brother of gangster Parvesh Mann, currently incarcerated in Delhi's Tihar jail, as per police sources. Parvesh has ties to the Neeraj Bawana gang, and investigators are looking into whether Suraj Mann's death was a result of a gang war. Parvesh Mann had an ongoing feud with a man named Kapil Kallu, associated with the Gogi gang, and both are currently behind bars.

Parvesh is accused of killing Kapil Kallu's father, and earlier, Kallu allegedly killed Parvesh's cousin. Speculations are rising that the attackers who targeted Parvesh Mann's brother may have been sent by Kapil Kallu in an attempt to avenge his father's death.
