An investigation has been launched in Portugal after an Indian-origin businessman, Kishore Gujarati, was shot and injured by unidentified assailants. The incident, which occurred in the Cidade Nova area of Odivelas, has sparked significant local concern regarding extortion and potential gang activity in the region.
The Attack and Online Extortion Claim
The shooting gained widespread attention after a social media account under the name “Rahul RK Meena” took responsibility for the hit and issued a series of chilling global threats.
-
The Admission: The post read, “I, Rahul RK Meena, take full responsibility for the shooting of Kishore Gujarati today near Cidade Nova Odivelas in Portugal. Ignoring our messages is tantamount to inviting death.”
-
The Threat: The user warned other targets who have supposedly received extortion calls to be prepared for bullets at any moment, adding, “Our reach and influence span the entire globe. Just wait for the right time—our next encounter will be far more brutal than this!”
-
Gang Affiliations Named: The social media post explicitly tagged or mentioned other notorious criminal syndicates, including the Sunil Meena Gang and the Aman Sahu Gang.
Police Investigation and Context
Despite intense public speculation online about the emergence of a new transnational gang operating in Portugal, local law enforcement is maintaining a cautious stance:
Official Stance: Authorities have not yet authenticated the Facebook post or verified the shooter’s identity. Investigators are currently focusing on establishing hard facts on the ground and have not officially tied the shooting to an organized crime syndicate.
