The investigation into shots fired outside Rohit Shetty’s Mumbai home intensified with the arrest of Pravin Lonkar, marking the 13th detention. Incarcerated earlier for Baba Siddique’s murder, he was remanded to Crime Branch custody by a special court until March 16.
Identified as Shubham Lonkar’s brother and active plotter, Pravin masterminded from prison. He hid three weapons, including the assault pistol, at an undisclosed site only he knew. Asaram Fasle, following directives, retrieved and transferred them to Swapnil Sakat.
Pune operatives, under Pravin’s command, furnished the assault vehicle and guns. This layered scheme underscores prison-based crime syndicates’ reach.
Police gear up for pivotal narco-style confrontations with suspects from multiple regions. Revelations could tie this to larger extortion rackets targeting Bollywood elite.
The attack’s audacity has prompted industry-wide security overhauls. Investigators pursue digital trails, CCTV footage, and witness statements relentlessly. Pravin’s interrogation holds promise for network disintegration, restoring faith in law enforcement’s resolve against organized crime.
