Four people have been arrested in connection with the firing incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence, with investigators probing a suspected link to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, police officials said on Monday. The arrests were made following an intensive investigation that included CCTV analysis, call data records, and tracking of movements across multiple locations.
According to the police, the incident occurred late at night when unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire near Shetty’s home, causing panic in the area. No injuries were reported, but the act triggered serious security concerns due to the high-profile nature of the target. Authorities quickly increased security around the filmmaker’s residence following the incident.
Preliminary investigations suggest the accused may have connections to the Bishnoi gang, which has been linked to several high-profile threats and violent incidents in recent years. Police sources said the suspects were in contact with known associates of the gang, though they added that the exact motive behind the firing is still being investigated.
Officials stated that the arrested individuals are being questioned to determine whether the attack was meant as a threat, an extortion attempt, or part of a larger conspiracy. Weapons believed to have been used in the incident have reportedly been recovered, and further arrests have not been ruled out.
Police have assured that all angles are being examined and that there is no immediate threat to Rohit Shetty or his family. The filmmaker has not issued an official statement so far, while law enforcement agencies continue to tighten security and deepen their investigation into the suspected gang nexus.
