Gogi, ‘gotra’, ‘court me murder’ song: Police reveal motive behind Ankit Baliyan killing
Haryanvi singer Ankit Baliyan was murdered in Shamli, allegedly linked to past gang-related tensions over a song that miffed slain gangster ‘Gogi's’ gang.
The recent murder of Haryanvi singer and YouTuber Ankit Baliyan in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh allegedly stemmed from a dispute over a song. The song, titled "Court me goli maarenge meri jaan… judge ke paseene aayenge," linked the 2021 court murder of gangster Jitender Maan, also known as Gogi, with Baliyan's rival gang. The accused, identified as Mohit and Sumit, both residents of Sonipat district in Haryana, opened fire on police personnel after being stopped near the Indian Gas godown on Kairana Road.
Both suspects were subsequently killed in a police shootout and died from their injuries. The investigation revealed that Baliyan's song was in support of rival gangster Tillu Tajpuria, who was also of Baliyan's gotra (clan), leading to the ongoing feud.
