Rohit Shetty firing case: Complainant alleges five rounds fired with intent to kill filmmaker

Four shots were fired outside director-producer Rohit Shetty's Juhu house on Sunday, February 1. He was present at his house when the gunshots were fired; however, he narrowly escaped the injury. According to the complainant's statement (security guard on duty) to the police, the incident took place in the early hours of February 1, 2026, at around 12:45 am, when he was seated near the CCTV monitoring screens in the lobby of Shetty Towers, the building where Shetty lives.

At the time, another bodyguard, Waheed Malik, was present with him in the lobby, while police bodyguard Ashish Rane was having his meal on the sixth floor of the building. Rohit Shetty was resting on the seventh floor of the same building when the incident occurred.

The complainant stated that he suddenly heard sounds resembling firecrackers, following which he immediately checked the CCTV screens. On the monitor, he saw an unidentified individual wearing a black jacket and white trousers standing near the compound wall of Shetty Towers, close to Road Number 10, and firing towards the building using what appeared to be a pistol-like firearm.

He further stated that the CCTV footage showed the unidentified person firing a total of five rounds in the



direction of the building. Immediately after the firing, Waheed Malik and the security guard posted at the gate, Satyam Pathak, rushed outside and saw the same individual running swiftly towards the Pushpa Park area.

The complainant then informed police constable Ashish Rane about the incident over the phone, following which Rane arrived at the gate and alerted the local police. Soon after, officers and staff from Juhu Police Station reached the spot, were briefed about the incident, and the complainant accompanied them to the police station to formally lodge the complaint.

In his statement, the complainant expressed his firm belief that the unidentified individual fired towards the residence with the intention of killing film director Rohit Shetty. He stated that at around 12:45 am on February 1, 2026, an unknown person wearing a black jacket and white trousers fired five rounds from a pistol-like firearm from near the compound wall in front of Shetty Towers on Road Number 10, where Rohit Shetty resides, thereby attempting to murder him.

The complainant further stated that the above statement, which was typed on a computer in the Marathi language, was read out to him, and that it was true and correct as per his version.
