The investigation into the firing incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence has taken a significant turn, with the case now pointing towards possible inter-state and even international links. As the Mumbai Crime Branch deepens its probe, new layers of the conspiracy are coming to light.
According to police sources, the money received by the accused involved in the firing was directly deposited into their bank accounts. Preliminary investigation has revealed that the funds were deposited through ATMs from different locations. Authorities are now expanding the scope of the probe to identify who deposited the money and the individuals orchestrating the financial transactions.
The Crime Branch suspects that the transactions were routed through an organised network. Sources indicate that the accused linked to the Agra module received funding that may have connections to Nepal. While officials have not yet confirmed the international link, this angle is being examined seriously. Following suspicions of a Nepal connection, security agencies have also been put on alert.
To trace the complete money trail, police have written to the concerned banks seeking detailed account statements, transaction histories and information about the individuals who deposited the cash. Investigating agencies believe that once the full financial chain is established, it will help them identify and reach the mastermind behind the conspiracy.
