Gang War in Agra: Young Man Shot Dead in Chest with Four Bullets After Alcohol Party, Recently Released from Jail

Agra: In a chilling incident of gang violence, a young man was shot dead in Agra’s Trans Yamuna Colony after a liquor party at a home-stay. Raj Chauhan, who had recently been released from jail, was shot four times in the chest. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital by the police, he could not be saved.

Raj Chauhan, originally from Bedaai village in Hathras, lived on rent in Trans Yamuna Colony. Known for his flamboyant and aggressive demeanor, Chauhan had been released on bail on December 2. He was engaged in an ongoing power struggle with a rival gang.

The Fatal Incident
On Friday, Raj Chauhan was celebrating with friends on the fourth floor of SN Homestay on Jalesar Road. Around 10 PM, about half a dozen men from a rival gang arrived at his room, sparking a confrontation. During the clash, the rival gang opened fire. Chauhan tried to escape, but was cornered in a gallery and shot four times in rapid succession before the attackers fled the scene.

Gang Rivalry Behind the Murder
The conflict reportedly involved Monu Yadav’s gang. Earlier, Chauhan had clashed with one of Monu Yadav’s associates, Kali Yadav, injuring him and even opening fire in a previous altercation. Chauhan’s ongoing rivalry was reportedly fueled by attempts to assert dominance and engage in violent bravado.

Police Investigation Underway
DCP City Ali Abbas confirmed that Chauhan was killed during the party following an argument. Police recovered multiple empty cartridges of a .312 bore gun from the scene. CCTV footage is being examined to identify the assailants. Witnesses claimed that during the shooting, Chauhan’s friends fled, and the attackers reportedly shouted, “This is your fate.”

Family in Shock
Upon receiving the news, Chauhan’s mother rushed to the hospital in distress, attempting to confront the attackers before being restrained by police.

Criminal Background
After his release from jail, Chauhan and his friends had held a celebratory procession on the streets, for which a case was registered against 10 individuals at New Agra Police Station. Chauhan was also named in a case concerning his grandfather’s murder.

This incident has sent shockwaves through Agra, highlighting the dangerous gang rivalries and ongoing criminal activities in the region.
