After Vijay's murder, the story of alleged enmity that has been going on for about one and a half years in Aya Nagar is once again in the news. According to the information revealed at the local level, the links of this dispute are being said to be related to the murder of a young man named Arun. It is said that there was already a dispute between Arun and Vijay's younger brother Deepak. It is alleged that Arun had once fatally attacked Deepak. Deepak survived the incident and a case of attempt to murder was registered against Arun. The case was pending in Saket court. Later, Arun, who was returning after a court hearing, was shot dead near CDR Chowk at Andheria Mor. Deepak and his associates were accused in this case. After this, information about Deepak being in jail came to light.

After Arun Ratanlal and now Vijay

The alleged rivalry did not end even after Arun's murder. On 30 November 2025, Ratanlal was shot dead in Aya Nagar. In that incident also a large number of bullets were fired. Now the murder of gym instructor Vijay Kumar has again brought the entire incident into the limelight. Locally, there is suspicion of a connection between the three murders, but the police have not yet officially confirmed any direct connection between the three incidents. The police are also investigating whether Vijay was murdered to avenge an old incident or there was some other personal or criminal reason behind it.
