Latest Developments in the Rohit Shetty Shooting Case

The suspect, who resides in Ashok Nagar, Agra, was reportedly motivated by the activities of the Lonkar gang on social media, which led him to target Shetty. Initial interrogations revealed that he admitted to collaborating with accomplices named Sunny, Deepu, and Sonu to establish their 'dominance' in the criminal underworld.

Earlier, on March 21, it was reported that the 14th suspect linked to the shooting was captured in Uttar Pradesh, thanks to the efforts of the Mumbai Crime Branch and the UP STF. This individual, known as Golu Pandit, was among the unidentified attackers. Additionally, the police traced the Honda Dio scooter used in the incident back to a man from Pune, who had purchased it four months prior. Sources indicate that this Pune resident sold the scooter a few days before the shooting to Aditya Gayaki, one of the arrested suspects, for Rs 30,000, securing Gayaki's signature on a blank document. Gayaki, along with another detained individual, Samarth Pomaji, left the scooter at a designated spot in Juhu, Mumbai, reportedly following direct orders from Shubham Lonkar.
