Bollywood director Rohit Shetty dodged bullets quite literally when shots rang out near his Juhu home, igniting a massive Crime Branch response. With the shooter still evading capture, police have constituted various units to comb Mumbai and beyond.
The case, now at a pivotal stage, promises quick results per official briefings. Joint raids with Pune Police yielded four arrests—logistics providers who confessed under grilling but distanced themselves from the trigger-pulling.
Unraveling the thread led to Lawrence Bishnoi’s notorious outfit, specifically Shubham Lonkar, who two of the suspects liaised with. Lonkar greenlit the audacious Saturday night strike, executed with clockwork precision as the shooter fired and fled.
The conspiracy’s airtight compartments shielded the gunman’s identity from aides. Panic gripped the area post-firing, yet no harm came to residents, including Shetty.
Gang fingerprints prompted the handover to Crime Branch from local cops. Investigators harness CCTV, geolocation from mobiles, and forensic cues to map the escape route. Beefed-up patrols ensure Shetty’s premises stay impregnable.
As this saga unfolds, it serves as a wake-up call for Bollywood’s security apparatus. The intensifying manhunt signals that justice is imminent, potentially exposing broader criminal webs.
