In a major development in the Rohit Shetty firing case, a comprehensive 1624-page chargesheet has been filed by the police. The chargesheet names Lonkar and Arzoo Bishnoi as wanted accused, along with the alleged shooter Deepak Sharma and three other individuals who have been arrested.
Details of the Incident
According to the police, the alleged shooter Deepak Sharma and three other accused had arrived in Juhu on the day of the incident. After committing the firing, they fled the scene in an autorickshaw and made their way to Kalyan in the neighboring Thane district. The police have been investigating the case under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), which has been invoked due to the involvement of organized crime syndicates.
Key Accused and Their Roles
The chargesheet provides a detailed account of the roles played by each accused. While Deepak Sharma is identified as the primary shooter, Lonkar and Arzoo Bishnoi are alleged to have conspired and facilitated the attack. The police have declared them absconding and are actively pursuing their arrest. The other three accused, who were arrested earlier, are believed to have assisted in the planning and execution of the crime.
Legal Proceedings and Evidence
The 1624-page chargesheet includes forensic evidence, witness statements, and call detail records that establish the conspiracy. The police have also recovered the autorickshaw used in the escape and other incriminating material. The accused are currently in judicial custody, and the court has taken cognizance of the chargesheet. The next hearing is scheduled for next month, where the prosecution will seek the arrest of the wanted accused.
The case has garnered significant public attention due to the high-profile nature of the victim, filmmaker Rohit Shetty. The police have assured that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure a thorough investigation and swift justice.
