Haryanvi Rapper Fazilpuria Targeted in Gurugram Shooting Incident
Popular Haryanvi singer and rapper Rahul Yadav, widely known as Fazilpuria, recently faced a terrifying ordeal. Unknown assailants opened fire on his car near Gurugram on Monday evening, July 14, 2025. Fortunately, Fazilpuria managed to escape the attack unhurt. Gurugram Police have initiated a thorough investigation into the incident. They are currently examining CCTV footage and gathering evidence.
Details of the Attack
The incident occurred on the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) near Badshahpur, Gurugram. Fazilpuria was driving his white Thar when attackers in another vehicle reportedly fired two to three rounds at his car. Reports indicate the assailants were in a Tata Harrier. Fazilpuria reacted quickly. He sped away from the scene, thus narrowly avoiding injury. Eyewitnesses reported the assailants fled immediately after the shooting. While no one sustained injuries, the incident certainly left Fazilpuria shaken. Police reached the spot after receiving information around 6:10 PM. They have launched an investigation to identify the culprits and determine the motive behind the attack.
Who is Fazilpuria?
Rahul Yadav, or Fazilpuria, hails from Fazilpur village near Gurugram. He adopted his stage name from his village. He is a prominent figure in the Haryanvi music industry. Fazilpuria gained widespread national recognition with his 2014 song “Ladki Beautiful Kar Gayi Chull.” This track later became part of the 2016 Bollywood film ‘Kapoor & Sons.’ He often blends traditional Haryanvi folk music with modern rap and Bollywood elements. His other popular songs include “Jimmy Choo,” “Party,” and “32 Bore.” He also enjoys a significant social media following, with over 1.2 million followers on Instagram.
Previous Controversies and Security Concerns
Fazilpuria’s name has recently appeared in other controversies. In 2023, he was linked to a case involving the alleged use of snake venom at a rave party. YouTuber Elvish Yadav also faced accusations in connection with this matter. Reports suggested Fazilpuria arranged snakes for a music video shoot. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) also questioned him twice in 2024 concerning money laundering allegations related to the snake venom case.
Sources also indicate that police security, which Fazilpuria previously had, was removed three months ago. This raises questions about his safety given the recent attack. The police are now exploring all angles, including potential old enmities, as they continue their probe. After the shooting, Gurugram police sources confirm they have reinstated Fazilpuria’s security.
