Meanwhile, new revelations are emerging in the police investigation. According to the latest information, the accused conducted reconnaissance of Rohit Shetty’s house before the firing.

The main accused, Deepak Ramesh Chandra, allegedly opened fire, while Sunny, Sonu, and one absconding accused were also involved in the incident. Deepak was present at the spot during the firing, while the others were nearby but not directly at the scene.
Accused Sonu had lived in Kalyan for nearly two years, where he was reportedly involved in arms supply activities.

After the firing at Rohit Shetty’s residence, the four accused reached Kalyan railway station separately and boarded a train to Agra.
The incident took place on the night of February 1, when four to five rounds were fired outside Rohit Shetty’s house. Neither Rohit Shetty nor anyone else was injured in the incident. Following the attack, police have tightened security in the area. The Crime Branch has made arrests from different states and is examining mobile phones, call detail records, and other evidence. The accused have been booked under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
