High-Profile Arrest in Rohit Shetty Residence Firing Case

A joint operation between the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force and Mumbai Police Crime Branch has resulted in the arrest of Pradeep Kumar, also known as Gaath. The arrest stems from a shooting incident that transpired at filmmaker Rohit Shetty's residence in Mumbai on February 1, 2026.

Pradeep Kumar was apprehended in Agra, following intelligence analysis and coordination with law enforcement. His involvement is tied to the Shubham Lonkar gang, known for its criminal influence on social media, motivated by a desire to assert fear and extract money from the film industry.

Authorities have charged Kumar under several legal sections, including MCOCA. The arrest is a pivotal development in the ongoing investigation, adding to previous detentions of eight other accomplices in this high-profile case.
