This sweep brings the arrest tally to 11 in the sensational case that gripped Bollywood. The Lawrence gang’s Shubham Lonkar had boasted online about orchestrating the hit and vowed to finish Shetty off, amplifying fears of organized crime infiltrating tinsel town.

Building on yesterday’s crime scene reconstruction, officers delved into the assailants’ movements, scrutinizing scooter paths and CCTV archives. Confessions during custody exposed higher payments from Lonkar—51,000 rupees total, including vehicle costs—contradicting earlier figures of 40,000.

To connect the dots, detectives recorded testimonies from Shetty himself and Ranveer Singh’s manager. Emerging evidence suggests the gunfire was more than a scare tactic. Menacing voice notes sent to the manager name-dropped Shetty, labeling the event a mere preview of impending doom. Identified as Harry Boxer’s voice from the Bishnoi faction, the recording demands behavioral change from the duo.

Forensic analysis of the audio and geolocation of the sender are underway. The operation showcases Mumbai police’s cross-state efficiency amid rising gangster threats to celebrities. Industry insiders are on edge, calling for robust safeguards as the full conspiracy unravels.
