On Sunday, February 1, four shots were fired outside the director-producer's Juhu home. He was present at his house when the gunshots were fired; however, he narrowly escaped the injury. According to the complainant's statement (security guard on duty) to the police, the incident took place in the early hours of February 1, 2026, at around 12:45 am, when he was seated near the CCTV monitoring screens in the lobby of Shetty Towers, the building where Shetty lives.
Police bodyguard Ashish Rane was eating on the sixth floor of the building at the time, while Waheed Malik, another bodyguard, was with him in the lobby. When the incident happened, Rohit Shetty was sleeping on the seventh floor of the same building.
The complainant claimed that he checked the CCTV screens as soon as he heard what sounded like firecrackers. On the monitor, he saw an unidentified individual wearing a black jacket and white trousers standing near the compound wall of Shetty Towers, close to Road Number 10, and firing towards the building using what appeared to be a pistol-like firearm.
He added that the unidentified individual was seen firing five rounds toward the building in the CCTV footage. Waheed Malik and Satyam Pathak, the security guard stationed at the gate, hurried outside right after the shooting and saw the same person sprinting in the direction of Pushpa Park.
After the complainant called police constable Ashish Rane to report the incident, Rane went to the gate and notified the local police. The complainant accompanied Juhu Police Station officers and staff to the police station to formally file the complaint after they arrived on the scene and were briefed about the incident.
In his statement, the complainant expressed his firm belief that the unidentified individual fired towards the residence with the intention of killing film director Rohit Shetty. He stated that at around 12:45 am on February 1, 2026, an unknown person wearing a black jacket and white trousers fired five rounds from a pistol-like firearm from near the compound wall in front of Shetty Towers on Road Number 10, where Rohit Shetty resides, thereby attempting to murder him.
The complainant further claimed that the aforementioned statement, which was written in Marathi on a computer, was read aloud to him and that, in his opinion, it was accurate and true.
According to Mumbai Police sources, the Honda Dio that the attacker used to get to the area beneath Rohit Shetty's house is owned by a Pune resident. A few days prior, that individual had sold the car for Rs 30,000 to Aditya Gayki, one of the arrested suspects. The seller had taken Aditya Gayki’s signature on plain paper at the time of the sale.
Afterwards, Aditya Gayki and Samarth Pomaji, another detained suspect, abandoned the car at a prearranged spot in Mumbai's Juhu neighborhood. Police sources claim that Shubham Lonkar was giving them direct instructions on how to buy the car and where to leave it in Mumbai. Police sources said that the people involved in buying the vehicle and bringing it to Mumbai were not aware of who the shooter was.
According to police sources, Shubham Lonkar later gave the gunman the order to retrieve the car from its location and start shooting. Police sources claim that a similar strategy has also been used in past crimes, where multiple small groups are involved in a single offense, taking care to prevent one group from knowing about the other groups.
