Mumbai crime investigators notched a win as Agra arrestee Vishnu Kushwaha landed in MCOCA court custody until February 25 over the firing at director Rohit Shetty’s Juhu property. The ruling fuels momentum in cracking the case wide open.
Joining 11 others—Jatin, Ramesh Bhardwaj, Sonu Kumar, Vishal Thakur, Sunny Kumar, Rakesh Kumar, Hritik Vinod Singh Yadav, and shooter Deepak Chandra—the net closes on the syndicate.
Probe highlights include pre-attack surveillance: repeated checks on the home from January 18-31. Deepak executed the February 1 nighttime volley, with Sunny, Sonu, and one on the run offering cover from afar.
Sonu’s history screams involvement—Kalyan-based arms operative for two years, recently Agra-bound but networked. The crew bolted via Kalyan trains post-job.
Unhurt targets spurred area lockdowns. Statewide hunts persist, with tech forensics in overdrive. MCOCA charges affirm gang dynamics.
No Ranveer Singh threat ties yet, but all angles probed. Custody phase sets stage for pivotal breaks.
