A birthday celebration at a gym in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr turned deadly after a dispute over smearing cake escalated into a shooting, leaving three men dead, police said.
The incident took place in the Khurja Nagar area on Saturday night when a group gathered to celebrate the birthday of a gym trainer, Jeetu.
An argument broke out after some members of the gym smeared cake on Jeetu’s face, which reportedly angered him.
Celebration Escalates Into Clash Between Two Groups
Police said the dispute quickly escalated into a clash between two groups. The accused allegedly opened fire at the victims, leading to the deaths of three men, all of whom knew the accused.
The deceased were identified as Amar Saini, 26, Manish Saini, 23, and Akash Saini, 22. All three were members of the same family and the gym.
Investigators said the incident may also be linked to an ongoing rivalry and competition for local dominance between the two groups.
Police said they received information Saturday night that three people had been injured in a shooting at a gym on Subhash Road. A police team rushed to the spot and found the three victims lying in pools of blood on the gym floor, with gunshot wounds to their heads.
A case has been registered against around 10 people on charges including murder and rioting. Several teams have been formed to arrest the accused, with the main suspect still absconding.
Officials said further investigation is underway.
