New Delhi: TikTok celebrity and a gym trainer by profession, 27-year-old Mohit Mor was shot dead by three unidentified men in outer Delhi’s Najafgarh on Tuesday evening.

Mohit had over 5.17 lakh followers on TikTok. A native of Haryana's Bahadurgarh, Mohit stayed at his home in Najafgarh.

Although the murder comes on the backdrop of a gang war in the area, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Anto Alphonse told a leading daily that the case has not shown any link to that.

The DCP said that Mohit did not have any criminal cases registered against him.

According to police, Mohit was seated in a photocopy shop around 6 pm on Tuesday when the shooting took place. He was apparently shot seven times and died on spot.

Police have procured CCTV footage of the incident and registered a murder case against the accused at the Najafgarh police station.

The footage showed that after shooting Mohit, three men were running in the street. While three wore helmets, the third one was unmasked. Police said that men can be identified from the third unmasked suspect's image. Also, the registration number of the scooter has been found in the footage and police is trying to ascertain the registration number.

Mohit is survived by his mother and brother. His father had passed away earlier.
