“Rohit Shetty’s Juhu Home Targeted in Shooting”
Mumbai, February 11, 2026 — A shocking development in the city’s entertainment and crime landscape emerged after gunshots were fired outside celebrated Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence in Juhu in the early hours of February 1, triggering a comprehensive police investigation and heightened security measures around the property.
According to Mumbai Police, at least four rounds were discharged at the multi-storey building where Shetty lives, with one bullet reportedly striking a glass panel in the gym area of the complex. Thankfully, no one was reported injured in the incident. Police and Crime Branch teams were dispatched immediately, cordoning off the area and collecting forensic evidence as part of a fully fledged probe.
In the days following the incident, authorities registered an FIR and have been tracing leads related to the case. Investigators have detained several suspects believed to have played logistical roles, and are working to identify and apprehend the individual or individuals who actually fired the shots.
A social media post circulating online has reportedly linked the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang to the attack, with the group claiming responsibility and issuing further threats toward the filmmaker. Police are verifying the authenticity of the claim while continuing efforts to uncover the exact motive behind the firing.
In response to the incident, security around Shetty’s residence has been significantly heightened, and similar measures are expected in locations associated with the filmmaker’s ongoing and upcoming projects.
Local law enforcement officials have declined to comment on speculation surrounding the motive, but have emphasised that the investigation remains active and ongoing.
