UP STF Arrests Alleged Shooter in Rohit Shetty Firing Incident from Agra
In a significant development in the Rohit Shetty firing case, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) has apprehended an alleged shooter linked to the Bishnoi gang from Agra. The arrest occurred on Sunday night in Bijauli village, following a tip-off from the Mumbai police, marking a crucial breakthrough in the investigation.
Details of the Arrest and Investigation
The suspect, identified as Vishnu, was nabbed by the UP STF in a coordinated operation based on intelligence provided by Mumbai authorities. This arrest is part of a broader crackdown, with six additional accused recently arrested from Rajasthan and brought to Mumbai. So far, a total of 11 individuals have been taken into custody in connection with the firing incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty's residence.
The incident, which involved gunfire near Shetty's house, has sparked widespread concern and prompted a multi-state investigation. The collaboration between Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai police highlights the inter-state nature of the case, with authorities working diligently to uncover the motives and networks behind the attack.
Broader Implications and Ongoing Efforts

- Interrogating the arrested individuals to gather more evidence.
- Tracing the origins and planning of the firing incident.
- Strengthening security measures for high-profile personalities.
As the investigation progresses, authorities remain committed to bringing all perpetrators to justice and preventing similar incidents in the future. The public is urged to cooperate with police efforts, and updates are expected as more details emerge from the ongoing probe.
