There has been a major update in the Rohit Shetty firing case. The Mumbai Crime Branch has reportedly arrested six more suspects from Rajasthan, and now they are being brought to Mumbai for further interrogation in connection with the firing incident outside the filmmaker's residence.
Six suspects arrested
According to police, reportedly four gunshots were fired outside Shetty's Juhu home, and the authorities registered a case soon after and tightened security around the filmmaker’s residence. As per reports, the latest arrests from Rajasthan were carried out with the help of multiple agencies.
Past arrests
Earlier, the authorities had arrested five suspects in the case, and they were booked under the stringent provisions of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), followed by their appearance before a special court.
The court reportedly remanded them to police custody till February 17 for what the investigators believe is a larger organised crime conspiracy. As per the officials, the attack was a planned act, and Shubham Lonkar has reportedly been identified as a key conspirator for allegedly providing funds and coordinating with the accused through encrypted messaging platforms. Police also suspect links to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, which has been under the radar for issuing threats to several high-profile celebrities.
