A week after the shooting incident in front of the residence of director Rohit ShettyThe shooter involved in the case remains elusive.
Although the criminal unit identified the accused, police teams have not been able to catch him. So far only those in charge of logistics have been arrested.
An officer said: “We have identified the accused, but he has gone missing. Several teams have been deployed to search for the shooter. So far, we have not had any success.”
“They clearly did not care about the other accused who provided them with the bike as no effort was even made to change the registration number,” the officer said.
The officer said that with each attack the gang has taken steps to ensure that the main shooters are not caught.
“In this case too, the accused was wearing a mask and fled in a manner that has become difficult to trace,” the officer said.
The officer added that even in the Baba Siddique case, the main shooter, Shiv Kumar Gautam, was arrested almost a month after the murder.
