The Mumbai Crime Branch has apprehended the alleged shooter responsible for firing outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s home earlier this month. This shooter, hailing from Rajasthan, was arrested along with six other suspects. Additionally, some individuals have been taken into custody from Uttar Pradesh.
With these recent arrests, the total number of individuals detained in connection with the case has risen to 11, as confirmed by the Mumbai Police. On February 11, five accused linked to the shooting incident at Rohit Shetty’s residence were charged under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, 1999 (MCOCA) during their appearance before a special court.
Following the expiration of police custody for the initial five accused, MCOCA charges were invoked against all the arrested individuals. Consequently, they were presented before a special MCOCA court, which remanded them in police custody until February 17, 2026. The Mumbai Crime Branch had requested a 15-day custody, but the court granted custody only until the specified date.
The investigation by the Mumbai Crime Branch into the firing incident at Rohit Shetty’s Juhu residence revealed that the vehicle used in the shooting was procured from Pune. Notably, Rohit Shetty gained prominence with the success of the Golmaal film series, starting in 2006 with Ajay Devgn and Arshad Warsi. His directorial journey also includes hits like Singham, Singham Returns, Simmba, Sooryavanshi, and Chennai Express, showcasing his versatility across genres.
