Firing outside Rohit Shetty’s Mumbai home: 4 arrested, Bishnoi Gang link emerges
Mumbai/IBNS: Four people have been arrested in connection with the firing incident outside Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence in Mumbai, media reports said on Sunday.
The accused were among five persons earlier detained from Pune. A court has remanded the four arrested individuals to police custody till February 5.
According to preliminary investigations, the accused have links with Shubham Lonkar, an alleged member of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. Lonkar is also an accused in the murder case of NCP leader Baba Siddique.
Soon after the firing incident, a social media post claimed Lonkar was behind the attack and also issued a threat, police said.
