Gurugram, March 9 -- Three persons on a motorbike fired at least 18 rounds at a luxury car showroom located at Hero Honda Chowk on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway, injuring at least one person in a suspected extortion bid on Saturday evening, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place at the Big Boy Toyz showroom, and a social media post claimed it to be the work of gangster Himanshu Bhau, who is reportedly operating from a foreign country.

"All the suspects involved in the firing on the showroom have been identified and they will be arrested soon. Teams have been formed to carry out raids and nab them at earliest," said Virender Saini, assistant commissioner of police (Manesar).
