In a dramatic escalation of the investigation into the firing at Rohit Shetty’s Juhu bungalow, Mumbai Police’s Anti-Extortion Cell has apprehended Asharam Fasle from Pune. Identified as the key link who supplied the weapon to the elusive shooter, Fasle’s capture brings the total arrests to five in this shocking case.
The attack, captured partially on CCTV, showed the perpetrator speeding away on a scooter after unleashing gunfire. Traced back to Pune, the vehicle implicated a syndicate involved in transportation and armament. Fasle’s role emerged from confessions of prior detainees, whose police custody expires today.
All five suspects face court tomorrow, with prosecutors pushing for remand to extract more details. Preliminary inquiries point to a coordinated effort: reconnaissance missions, financial backing, and tactical execution aimed at Shetty’s fortified home.
Despite the arrests, the primary gunman evades capture, believed to have escaped Mumbai. Crime Branch teams are scouring multiple locations, intensifying the manhunt.
Post-incident, security around Shetty’s residence has been fortified. Extra forces now guard the area, underscoring the gravity of threats facing film industry stalwarts.
As this story develops, it highlights vulnerabilities in protecting public figures amid rising extortion rackets. Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding Bollywood security saga.
