On Friday, February 13, Rohit was spotted at the Mumbai airport surrounded by heavy security. In a video from the scene, the filmmaker was seen stepping out of his car as security personnel gathered around him, urging paparazzi to maintain distance.

According to the police sources, the assailant arrived in the Juhu area on a motorcycle, which he parked at a short distance, and then walked towards the Shetty Tower. The shots were fired outside the filmmaker's personal gymnasium, which is on the first floor of the building, before the attacker fled the spot.

Bishnoi Gang Claims Responsibility For Firing At Rohit Shetty's Residence

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the firing outside the Golmaal director's Juhu house.

Gangsters Shubham Lonkar and Arzu Bishnoi shared a post on social media taking responsibility. The post in Hindi reads, "We, Shubham Lonkar, Arzu Bishnoi and Hari Boxer, take responsibility for the firing outside Rohit Shetty’s house. We warned him (Rohit Shetty) several times not to interfere in our work. When he failed to understand, this was just a small trailer. If he still does not understand, the next bullet will not be fired outside the house but inside the bedroom, aimed at his chest."

After firing at Rohit's home, Ranveer Singh received a threatening WhatsApp voice note demanding Rs 1 crore from gangster Harry Boxer of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

A day after Ranveer received a threat voice note, Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma also received a threat email, allegedly linked to the Bishnoi gang.
