Rohit Shetty‘s house firing case has taken a shocking turn, with Mumbai police exposing ties to an international web. The attackers supposedly had funds conducted into their bank accounts, withdrawing cash discreetly from ATMs. An anonymous figure handled the deposits, hinting at a bigger operation masterminding the hit. To unravel the money path, authorities have tasked banks with handing over complete statements and transaction details of those involved.
Nepal and Agra module links emerge
As per News18 reports, the investigation has also uncovered leads on funding channels linked to Nepal. Officials are probing a possible connection to the so-called “Agra module.” Mumbai Police have set up several special teams to ramp up the probe and pinpoint the mastermind of the attack.
The attack details
For those unaware, five bullets were fired at filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s Juhu home on January 31. The Mumbai Crime Branch probe has confirmed the vehicle used in the attack came from Pune.
Vehicle’s trail from Pune
The car used in the shooting came from a man in Pune. He sold it to Aditya Gayki, one of the arrested men, for Rs 30,000 a few days ago. Aditya Gayki and another arrested man, Samarth Pomaji, left the car at a fixed spot in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Crime Branch says the people who bought the car and drove it to Mumbai did not know the shooter. Later, Shubham Lonkar told the shooter to pick up the car and fire.
Five arrests so far
So far, five suspects have been nabbed by Bahadurgarh’s STF Unit in collaboration with Mumbai Police. Further investigation is underway.
