Firing outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty's Mumbai residence; probe underway

No injuries were reported in the incident.

As far as multiple reports are concerned, the police are scanning footage from CCTV cameras installed outside Shetty Tower and nearby buildings to trace the escape route of the attackers.

As soon as the incident was reported, senior officers of the Mumbai Police, along with teams from the Mumbai Crime Branch, reached the spot. For security reasons, the entire area was cordoned off.

Following the incident, heavy police security was deployed around Shetty's residential tower in the Juhu area. Police and forensic teams reached the spot and secured the premises to carry out a detailed examination.

As per visuals, an investigation is underway, and all possible angles are being explored to identify those responsible for the firing. 

It is not confirmed whether Rohit Shetty was inside his house at the time of the firing. Following the gunshots, videos showing bullet marks at the site have surfaced on social media, with the marks being circled.

So far, Rohit Shetty and his family have not issued any statement on the incident.

The firing is a major cause of security concern as similar incidents have been reported in the past, including multiple cases of firing outside actor Salman Khan's residence in Mumbai, for which the Bishnoi gang had claimed responsibility in several instances.

Police are examining whether the firing was meant as a threat or linked to any other motive. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited.

Rohit Shetty is a well-known filmmaker in the Indian film industry and is known for hit films such as Golmaal and Singham.
