At least five rounds were fired at the first floor of Shetty’s nine-storey building in the Juhu area at 12.45 am on February 1. One bullet struck the glass of a gym inside the building. The official said that Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Shubham Lonkar had taken responsibility for the firing.

The police had previously invoked the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in the case. The firing has renewed concerns over the security of Bollywood personalities.
