Breaking developments in the shocking gunfire at Rohit Shetty’s Mumbai home: Crime Branch scores major wins with arrests surging to 12. The latest, Vishnu Kushwaha from Agra, caps a Monday sweep that began with shooter Deepak Chandra’s Rajasthan bust and five others.
Six suspects faced judicial scrutiny today, landing in custody till February 25. The roster features Jatin Ramesh Bhardwaj (22), Sonu Kumar (20), Deepak Ramesh Chandra (25), Vishal Thakur (19), Sunny Kumar Rakesh Kumar (23), and Ritik Vinod Singh Yadav (24). A shadowy larger gang allegedly pulled the strings, fueling intense scrutiny.
Grilling Deepak unveiled the plot’s mechanics. He, Sonu, and Sunny handled the shooting, escaping with help from the rest who stayed in the dark about firearms. Cousin Jatin chipped in 1,500 rupees; hideouts included Ritik’s Agra factory and Vishal’s Noida pad—a trail of friendship turned complicity.
Lawyer Dilip Shukla fired back for his clients: ‘Ritik, Vishal, Sonu are innocent bystanders without hard evidence against them,’ he declared. ‘Proximity and aid don’t equal guilt; Ritik thought friends were vacationing.’ The bench heard him out, mandating thorough checks on these claims.
As interrogations ramp up, this Bollywood-targeted hit raises alarms over organized threats. Police remands signal a no-holds-barred pursuit of truth, promising closure for a rattled industry.
