Mumbai, Feb 10 (NationPress) The underworld appears to be tightening its grip on the heart of India's entertainment industry. Following the shooting incident outside acclaimed director Rohit Shetty's residence, Ranveer Singh, known for his role in 'Simmba,' has reportedly received a threatening message from an unknown assailant.
This threat was communicated via a WhatsApp voice note, prompting authorities to enhance security around Ranveer Singh's home. The voice note demanded a hefty ransom of crores, leading the actor to alert the Mumbai Police. An active manhunt is underway to trace the origin of the threatening communication.
This incident reflects a disturbing trend in Mumbai's law and order situation. Previously, shots were fired at Rohit Shetty's Juhu home. Initial investigations by the Mumbai Crime Branch suggested that the vehicle used in the shooting was acquired from Pune. The car was sold to Aditya Gayki, one of the suspects, for Rs 30,000 just days before the incident.
After the shooting, the suspects abandoned the vehicle in a predetermined location in Juhu, where it was later discovered. According to police reports, the individuals who transported the vehicle were unaware of the identity of the shooter, later identified as Shubham Lonkar, who orchestrated the shooting.
For context, five bullets were fired at Rohit Shetty's residence, with exclusive footage revealing three bullet holes in the property. The director's home is well-secured, boasting two gates and over ten surveillance cameras throughout the tower.
Following the shooting, the assailants fled the scene. Senior officers and teams from the Mumbai Crime Branch promptly arrived to investigate the incident.
