Mumbai Police Nab Alleged Shooter Amid Bollywood Director Targeting
Eleven arrests made in total including alleged shooter linked to Lawrence Bishnoi gang; Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act invoked in the case.
- On February 16, 2026, Mumbai Police arrested six more suspects from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, bringing the total to 11 in the Rohit Shetty firing case.
- Police say the operation appears planned by organised-crime aides, as the February 1 attack on filmmaker Rohit Shetty's Juhu house triggered an intensive Mumbai Crime Branch investigation and police suspect Shubham Lonkar, Lawrence Bishnoi aide, planned it.
- Police identified Deepak Sharma as the alleged shooter while detaining Ritik Yadav, but clarity on who fired is still awaited, police said.
- The five are being produced before a special MCOCA court, and police said Sharma's interrogation should clarify how the operation was planned, with custody till February 25.
- Threats and extortion attempts have also surfaced this month as the Lawrence Bishnoi gang relies on aides like Shubham Lonkar and Harry Boxer while its leaders remain jailed, police said.
