Firing Outside Rohit Shetty’s Juhu Residence Triggers Security Alert
Unidentified assailants fired four rounds outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence in Mumbai’s Juhu area shortly after midnight on Sunday, triggering an immediate security response. The incident occurred around 12.43 am, prompting Mumbai Police to deploy additional personnel outside the premises as a precaution. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the director and his family were unharmed. Police cordoned off the area soon after the shots were heard, raising alert levels in the neighbourhood.
Police Launch Multi-Angle Probe, Forensic Teams at Site
Soon after the firing, local police teams and forensic experts reached the spot to examine shell casings and other physical evidence. Investigators are analysing CCTV footage from nearby buildings and roads to trace the movement of the attackers. Officials confirmed that they are probing multiple angles, including whether the firing was a threat or a warning. At present, the motive behind the attack remains unclear, and no group has claimed responsibility so far.
Heavy Police Presence, Videos Surface Online
Meanwhile, videos showing heightened police deployment outside Rohit Shetty’s residence began circulating on social media. The visuals showed police vehicles, barricades, and officers stationed around the building throughout the night. Authorities increased patrolling in the Juhu area to prevent any further incidents. However, Shetty or his family members have not issued any public statement on the matter yet.
Renewed Concerns Over Bollywood Celebrity Security
The incident has once again raised concerns about the safety of Bollywood personalities in Mumbai. In recent years, similar firing incidents outside actor Salman Khan’s residence sparked nationwide attention, especially after the Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility in some cases. Police are now examining whether there is any connection or pattern linking these incidents. For now, officials have assured that security arrangements around Rohit Shetty’s home will remain tight until the investigation reaches a conclusion.
