Summary

Mumbai police have invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against five suspects apprehended following a shooting outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty's home. The incident, which involved four rounds fired around 12:43 am on February 1, is now being treated as potentially linked to organised crime.
The arrested individuals are Aditya Gayaki, Siddharth Yenpure, Samarth Pomaji, Swapnil Sakat, and Asaram Fasale. Investigators have identified Shubham Lonkar, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, as a wanted accused who purportedly claimed responsibility for orchestrating the attack.
This development has intensified concerns about the safety of high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry. The Indian Film & Television Directors' Association has urged for intervention from the Chief Minister to ensure the security of film professionals.
