Mumbai: A man has been detained by Mumbai Police in connection with a firing incident outside the Juhu residence of renowned filmmaker Rohit Shetty in the early hours of Sunday. Police said five rounds were allegedly fired outside the filmmaker’s home, triggering security concerns in the upscale locality.

According to officials, the incident occurred around 12:45 am, when the accused allegedly opened fire outside the residential building where Shetty lives. The filmmaker was present inside the house at the time of the incident. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

The matter came to light after Shetty’s security guard heard the gunshots and immediately alerted him. A formal complaint was later lodged at the Juhu police station. During the spot inspection, police recovered empty bullet shells from outside the residence.

CCTV footage from the area played a crucial role in the investigation, with police identifying a suspect seen near the spot before the firing. Acting on technical inputs and surveillance, the police detained a man from Pune for questioning in connection with the case.

“A forensic team and ballistic experts have examined the site. Security outside the residence has been strengthened as a precautionary measure,” a senior police officer from Juhu police station said.

Teams from the Juhu Police and the Mumbai Crime Branch rushed to the spot soon after the incident and launched a detailed probe. A high-level meeting of Mumbai Police officials was also convened to assess the security situation and investigation progress.

A case has been registered against unknown persons under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act. Police are currently investigating the motive behind the firing.

Rohit Shetty is among Bollywood’s most successful filmmakers, known for blockbuster franchises such as Golmaal and Singham. The incident has once again raised concerns over the safety of high-profile personalities in Mumbai.

Notably, a similar firing incident was reported in 2024 outside actor Salman Khan’s Bandra residence, where bike-borne assailants had fired multiple rounds before fleeing.

Police said further action will be taken based on the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
