Delhi Burger King murder
Police also found that the murder was the result of a gang rivalry. Fugitive gangster Himanshu Bhau had claimed responsibility for the murder and said that Aman was involved in the killing of Shakti Singh, a cousin of jailed gangster Neeraj Bawana, who was shot dead in Haryana's Jhajjar in October 2020.
According to the police, Dhankar had lured Aman through social media and had invited him to the restaurant. Dhankar had also informed Himanshu Bhau that Aman was coming to meet her at Burger King the day he was shot dead. Police said that Dhankar was also involved in the incident of indiscriminate firing at the Matu Ram Halwai Shop, in Gohana.

Was fleeing to US
Dhankar, who fled Delhi after the shootout, first went to Jalandhar by train and then to Haridwar by bus via Chandigarh. Earlier this week, she had been told by the gang that she could go to the US via Dubai, and Dhankar was trying to cross into Nepal when she was caught.
