Mumbai:<\/strong> In a major development in the firing incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty\u2019s residence earlier this month, Mumbai Police have invoked the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against the accused. The move signals investigators\u2019 belief that the attack may be linked to organised criminal activity.<\/p>\n\n

Gunshots were fired at Shetty\u2019s nine-storey residential building in Juhu at around 12:45 am on February 1, 2026. According to officials, at least five rounds were discharged, with one bullet striking the glass of a gym located on the first floor of the building. No injuries were reported in the incident.<\/p>\n\n

Five Arrested, Produced Before Special Court<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Anti-Extortion Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch has so far arrested five individuals in connection with the case \u2014 identified as Aditya Gayaki (19), Siddharth Yenpure (20), Samarth Pomaji (18), Swapnil Sakat (23), and Asaram Fasale.<\/p>\n\n

After their police custody ended on Wednesday, the accused were produced before a special MCOCA court. Officials confirmed that certain accused have prior involvement in serious offences, prompting the invocation of the organised crime law.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMCOCA sections have been added considering the nature of the offence and the background of some of the accused,\u201d an officer said.<\/p>\n\n

Alleged Gang Link Under Probe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Investigators have named Shubham Lonkar as the alleged main conspirator behind the attack. Lonkar, who is currently absconding, is believed to have ordered the firing and is reportedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.<\/p>\n\n

Police sources indicate that Lonkar is also wanted in connection with other high-profile cases, including the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique and the firing incident outside actor Salman Khan\u2019s Bandra residence.<\/p>\n\n

Authorities are actively searching for Lonkar and examining whether the firing at Shetty\u2019s residence was part of a broader pattern of intimidation or extortion attempts targeting prominent public figures.<\/p>\n\n

Broader Security Concerns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In a related development, actor Ranveer Singh has reportedly received a threat message via WhatsApp from unidentified persons. Investigators suspect possible links to organised criminal elements, though verification is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n

The Rohit Shetty firing case has once again brought focus to the activities of organised crime syndicates and their alleged attempts to target high-profile personalities in Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n

Police officials have assured that strict legal action will be taken and that all angles \u2014 including conspiracy, gang involvement, and extortion motives \u2014 are being thoroughly examined.<\/p>\n\n

The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
