Six Held From Haryana, Rajasthan In Rohit Shetty Firing Case
Joint operation leads to arrests across Haryana and Rajasthan in firing investigation.
Six individuals, including the alleged shooter, have been arrested in connection with the high-profile firing incident involving filmmaker Rohit Shetty, officials confirmed on Monday. The suspects were apprehended from locations across Haryana and Rajasthan in a coordinated operation carried out by multiple state police units.
According to police sources, the arrests followed a detailed investigation that included technical surveillance, intelligence inputs, and coordination between state law enforcement agencies. The alleged shooter was identified as one of the six individuals detained, and authorities recovered weapons and other materials that may have been used in the crime. Investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the firing, including the possibility of a broader conspiracy or involvement of additional parties.
The firing incident, which occurred earlier this month, had prompted heightened security measures around Shetty, a leading director and producer in the Hindi film industry. Although no one was injured in the attack, the incident generated significant concern due to Shetty’s prominence and the potential threat posed to high-profile individuals in the entertainment sector. The matter attracted immediate media attention and sparked discussions about safety and security for public figures in India.
Police officials stated that the suspects are being interrogated to determine their precise roles in the incident. Investigators are seeking to establish whether the attack was linked to personal grievances, extortion attempts, or any professional rivalry, and whether it was an isolated act or part of a larger plan. Authorities emphasized that no conclusions would be drawn until the investigation is complete.
Law enforcement agencies have assured the public that strict action will be taken against those found culpable. The case has highlighted the challenges faced by police in handling cross-state criminal activities, particularly when the target is a prominent personality. Authorities said that the coordinated effort between Haryana, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra police was crucial in tracking and apprehending the suspects.
The police have also appealed to the public not to speculate or spread unverified information while the investigation is ongoing. Officials indicated that further updates would be provided as inquiries progress, and confirmed that measures are being taken to ensure the safety of Shetty and other public figures in the film industry. The apprehension of the six suspects represents a significant step toward resolving the case and preventing similar incidents in the future, while reinforcing law enforcement’s commitment to maintaining public safety.
