CCTV footage shows bullet marks on a glass panel of the building’s balcony, while the attackers reportedly fled immediately after opening fire. Authorities are reviewing footage from over 100 cameras installed in and around Shetty’s building and neighbouring areas to identify the culprits and trace their escape route.
According to news agency IANS, Rohit Shetty’s residence has two gates and is equipped with more than ten CCTV cameras across the tower. The incident has raised concerns as Juhu is considered one of Mumbai’s most upscale and secure neighbourhoods. It is home to several film industry bigwigs.
