Filmmaker Rohit Shetty recently made headlines after his Juhu house was targeted by a gunshot. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang have came forward to take the claim of the gunshots.

According to ANI, the municipal police on Sunday revealed that five suspects have been taken into custody in Pune in relation to the firing case at Bollywood director-producer Rohit Shetty's home.

According to a Pune City Police spokesperson, the suspects have been handed over to the Mumbai Crime Branch for additional investigation.

Twelve special squads were established earlier today by the Mumbai Crime Branch to apprehend suspects in the shooting incident outside Shetty's home.

According to police, attackers shot four rounds outside the Bollywood film director's home early on Sunday morning. Rohit’s apartment tower in the Juhu area was heavily guarded by police shortly after the shooting.

This came after the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for firing outside Rohit Shetty’s Juhu home.

Just a few hours after the firing incident, a post went viral on social media with Lawrence Bishnoi's gang members, Shubham Lonkar and Aarzoo Bishnoi, taking the responsibility.

The Bishnoi gang has also issued a stern warning against the film industry and filmmakers not to meddle in their activities.

In order to conduct a thorough investigation, police and forensic investigators secured the area. The event did not result in any reported injuries.
