In Faridabad, Haryana, India, 35-year-old mobile shop owner and social worker Gulshan Bajrangi was brutally ambushed and beaten on March 29, 2025, suffering over ten to thirteen fractures across his arms, legs, and knee. The attack allegedly stemmed from an extramarital live-in relationship with Gunjan, whom Gulshan met in 2019 while she was undergoing divorce proceedings. Conflict escalated when Gunjan pressured Gulshan to marry her despite his existing marriage and three children, and when Gulshan demanded the return of approximately ₹12.5 lakh to ₹21 lakh he had lent her. On the night of the incident, Gulshan was lured to Gunjan's neighborhood under the premise of resolving the financial dispute, where Gunjan, her brothers Aman Sikri and Amit, father Rakesh, mother, and accomplices including Kishan (Honey) and Kamal Mannu allegedly held him at gunpoint and beat him with wooden sticks, iron rods, and knives. Police registered a case against five to six named individuals and accomplices, arresting Aman Sikri and Kishan while searching for the remaining suspects.

Extramarital Conflict
The relationship developed from a customer transaction at a mobile repair shop into an extramarital live-in arrangement. Conflict intensified when the female partner demanded legal marriage while the male partner refused due to his existing family obligations. The dispute was further exacerbated by significant financial transfers made during the relationship. When the victim attempted to retrieve his funds and end the arrangement, the suspect and her family escalated to premeditated violence.
Faridabad police registered a case against five named individuals and several unidentified accomplices. Arrests were made for Aman Sikri and Kishan (Honey), while Gunjan, Amit, Rakesh, and others were reported absconding. Investigators reviewed video evidence showing the firearm threat.
Initial confusion involved whether the confrontation was a spontaneous domestic brawl or a planned ambush. The victim also alleged police misconduct and improper case registration in higher-sentence offenses, creating friction between the victim and local investigators.
Gulshan visited Gunjan's residence to collect money owed to him. An initial physical altercation occurred inside the home, during which his phone was taken. After he recovered his phone and left, Gunjan's brother called him back under the guise of an amicable settlement. Upon returning, Gulshan was confronted outside by multiple family members and associates who held him at gunpoint and severely beat him before leaving him unconscious on the street.
The case demonstrates severe risk indicators including weapon use, coercive threats of social ruin, coercion regarding financial assets, and organized physical ambush by multiple family members.
Unresolved financial entanglements coupled with extramarital relationship demands created acute lethal risk. Luring tactics under the premise of peaceful financial settlement serve as a key escalation marker in violent domestic conflicts.
Coercive threats by the female partner to ruin the victim's social reputation and file false complaints were key early warning signs.
A phone call from the suspect's brother luring the victim back to the scene served as the crucial operational clue establishing premeditation.
Video footage showing a suspect pointing a firearm, combined with medical documentation of over ten broken bones and physical plaster casts, formed the primary evidence.
The victim reported that attackers left him for dead on the street after brutally beating him, and that a passerby eventually alerted the police.
Initial reports indicated a live-in conflict; subsequent statements by the victim revealed a complex dispute over ₹12.5 lakh to ₹21 lakh in committee funds and explicit luring.
The exact whereabouts of Gunjan and other absconding family members remained unresolved at the time of reporting.
