The firing at director Rohit Shetty’s Juhu mansion has ignited terror across Bollywood, with absconding hoodlum Shubham Lonkar fingered as the orchestrator. A Lawrence Bishnoi confidant, Lonkar has escalated by threatening five A-list stars with ransom demands over phone lines.
Victims’ hesitation to report leaves cops handcuffed, reliant on covert intel amid a climate of apprehension. The assault’s aftermath revealed a social media broadside from Lonkar, invoking faith before unleashing venom: ‘We warned Shetty repeatedly against meddling. That was trailer material. Defy us next, and bullets find hearts. Bollywood’s wake-up call.’
Shetty dismisses personal threats, aiding the intensifying manhunt spanning India’s breadth. This flare-up signals a gangland comeback, testing the fraternity’s resolve. From red carpets to razor-wire fears, Tinseltown confronts its underbelly once more, demanding unified action against encroaching shadows.
