The victim sustained at least 10 gunshot wounds.

Authorities are investigating the incident as a potential gang-related killing. Redhu was reportedly out on bail and had faced at least four criminal cases, including two for murder, one for assault, and one for violating firearms laws. This suggests a history of violence connected to his activities.

Redhu had prior criminal cases, including two for murder, one for assault, and one for violating firearms laws.

Shortly after the shooting, a social media account, "Hari Boxer Sundar Hanshi," claimed responsibility for the murder. The post accused Redhu of being involved in a previous shooting targeting their gang members, acting as a "planner and supporter." The group also issued a direct threat to Redhu's associates, warning they would be next. The gunmen remain at large.
