NDTV reported that the firing took place between 12:40 am and 1 am. A case has been registered against the assailants under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act. Officials are yet to uncover the motive behind the same.
This is not the first time shots have been fired outside the residence of a Bollywood celebrity. Around four months ago, a similar incident occurred outside actress Disha Patani’s Uttar Pradesh residence. Gangster Goldy Brar reportedly claimed responsibility for the same.
Gunshots were also fired outside superstar Salman Khan’s Mumbai residence in 2024.
Meanwhile, Rohit Shetty is one of Bollywood’s most commercially successful directors. He is best known for blockbuster franchises like Golmaal and Singham, as well as action-packed entertainers such as Chennai Express, Sooryavanshi and Cirkus. A household name for his larger-than-life filmmaking style and gravity-defying stunt sequences, Shetty has also made a mark on television with Khatron Ke Khiladi. Police officials have confirmed that inquiries are underway, and efforts are being intensified to identify those responsible for the firing, with multiple teams working in parallel to piece together leads.
