Four arrested over firing at filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s home

Four persons were arrested after bullets were fired at filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s home in Mumbai on Sunday, with the initial probe pointing at their links with Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Shubham Lonkar, an accused in the Baba Siddique murder case.

The four were among the five persons detained earlier in Pune. They were brought to Mumbai, where a court remanded them in police



custody till February 5, an official said.

Hours after the firing, a threatening social media post surfaced claiming that Mr. Lonkar was behind the crime, he said.

At least five rounds were fired at the first floor of the nine-storey building in the Juhu area at around 12:45 a.m. One bullet struck the glass of a gym located in the building, officials said.
