Rohit Shetty House Attack Investigation Takes Dramatic Turn with International Links
The investigation into the shocking firing at filmmaker Rohit Shetty's residence has escalated dramatically, with Mumbai police uncovering evidence pointing to an international network behind the attack. Authorities have revealed that the assailants received funds through sophisticated banking channels, with money deposited anonymously into their accounts before being discreetly withdrawn from ATMs.
International Financial Trail and Anonymous Deposits
Police investigators have determined that the attackers' operations were financed through carefully orchestrated banking transactions. The funds were deposited into the suspects' accounts by an anonymous figure, suggesting the involvement of a larger, well-organized operation masterminding the entire incident. This discovery has prompted authorities to issue directives to multiple banks, demanding complete financial statements and detailed transaction records of all individuals connected to the case.
Nepal and Agra Module Connections Emerge
In a significant development, the investigation has uncovered potential funding channels linked to Nepal. Law enforcement officials are actively probing possible connections to what has been termed the "Agra module" in their reports. Mumbai Police have established multiple special investigation teams dedicated to accelerating the probe and identifying the mastermind responsible for orchestrating the attack on Shetty's home.
Detailed Account of the January 31 Attack
For those unfamiliar with the incident, five bullets were fired at Rohit Shetty's Juhu residence on January 31. The Mumbai Crime Branch investigation has confirmed crucial details about the vehicle used in the attack, tracing its origins to Pune.
Vehicle Trail from Pune to Mumbai
The car employed in the shooting was originally purchased from a man in Pune for approximately Rs 30,000 just days before the incident. The vehicle was subsequently acquired by Aditya Gayki, one of the individuals arrested in connection with the case. Gayki, along with another arrested suspect named Samarth Pomaji, strategically left the car at a predetermined location in Mumbai's Juhu area.
Investigators have clarified that the individuals who purchased and transported the vehicle to Mumbai were unaware of the shooter's intentions. According to Crime Branch findings, Shubham Lonkar later instructed the shooter to retrieve the car from the designated spot and carry out the firing.
Current Arrest Status and Ongoing Investigation
Law enforcement has made significant progress with five suspects already apprehended through coordinated efforts between Bahadurgarh's Special Task Force Unit and Mumbai Police. The investigation remains active and ongoing as authorities continue to pursue additional leads and connections in this complex case.
The discovery of international funding channels and potential cross-border connections has transformed what initially appeared to be a localized incident into a case with far-reaching implications, keeping both law enforcement and the entertainment industry on high alert.
