WHAT DID THE POST SAY?
According to reports, the post, written in Hindi, translates to a direct and violent threat against the Bollywood director.
“Ram Ram, Jai Bajrang Bali to all brothers. Today, we, Shubham Lonkar, Aarzoo Bishnoi, Hari Boxer, and Harman Shandu, take responsibility for the firing at film director Rohit Shetty’s home in Mumbai. We messaged him many times not to interfere in our work, but he did not understand. This is just a small trailer. If he doesn’t listen, the next bullets won’t be outside the house-they will be inside his bedroom, into his chest,” the post allegedly read.
“This is a warning to the entire Bollywood industry: mend your ways or your condition will be worse than Baba Siddique’s. To those we have called-fall in line or you will run out of places to hide. And to our enemies, be ready; wait and watch,” the note added further.
