The SUV, a black Scorpio, was recovered from Kharkunda in Haryana which had blood stains which meant that one or more attackers were also injured in the cross fire as Singh's PSOs had also fired in retaliation, a senior police official said.
Police is now checking records of hospitals and nursing homes in the area to see whether anybody with bullet injuries was brought there.
Two to three assailants have been identified by the police and it is also being suspected that some juveniles were also part of the assailants, he added. Police believe that other than the Scorpio, two other SUVs were also used by the attackers.
Notorious gangster Rajesh Bawana alias Karambir who was arrested in November and currently lodged in Tihar was also questioned by police.
The needle of suspicion has been on two gangs who have had reasons to eliminate Singh, one is Vikas Lagarpuria and the other is Udaiveer alias Kaale and the investigation so far is indicates that the two came together for the "operation".
It is said that Kaale's father and brother were allegedly bumped off by Singh and his brother's gang. It is being suspected that Udaiveer, who was recently released from jail hired hitmen to kill Singh.
38-year-old Singh was attacked by over six armed men who had reached the spot in a SUV. At least 15-20 rounds of bullets were fired. He was later declared dead at Medanta hospital in Gurgaon. Singh had received six bullets, including two in his head from close range.
