Gangster Rohit Godara has claimed responsibility for a shooting targeting Hari Boxer, a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi, in the United States. The attack reportedly took place near Exit 127 on Highway 41 in Fresno, California, leaving one of Boxer’s aides dead and another injured. Boxer himself managed to escape.
In an alleged Facebook post, Godara said he and Goldy Brar planned the strike. “I (Rohit_Godara) (Goldy_Brar) brothers—we are the ones who orchestrated the shooting of (Hari Boxer) alias (Hariya) today in California, USA (near Exit 127 on Highway 41, Fresno, USA). One of his associates died on the spot! Another was shot and is hospitalised! And this (Hari Boxer) coward hid under the car seat!” the post read.
Issuing a warning to Boxer, Godara added, “He may hide in any corner of the earth, but we will not spare him! The one who considered (Lawrence Bishnoi) his father and was speaking abusive words against us, has no standing in our presence! The one whom some people consider their idol is the biggest traitor on this earth! It may take time, but no one will be forgiven!”
Godara, once part of the Bishnoi gang, broke away months ago to form his own outfit with Goldy Brar. Both are wanted by the National Investigation Agency and several state police forces in India.
Tensions between the Bishnoi and Godara-Brar factions have escalated in recent weeks. Last month, Godara accused Bishnoi of being a traitor, alleging he had “colluded with an American agency” to protect his brother Anmol and was “providing them with intelligence about the country.”
He also claimed Bishnoi planned to target Bollywood actor Salman Khan to gain notoriety, while urging the media not to associate him or his associates with the Bishnoi gang.
