“At this stage, we can only say that they have been detained for aiding and abetting. Further investigation will be carried out by the Mumbai Police,” Kumar said; none of the detainees had any prior criminal record, he noted. Late in the night on Sunday, Mumbai Police said four of the suspects had been arrested while a fifth had been served a notice.

The arrested accused were Siddharth Deepak Yenpure, 20; Samarth Shivshankar Pomaji, 18; Swapnil Bandu Sakat, 23; and Aditya Dnyaneshwar Gayake, 19. Aman Anand Marothe, 27, was served a notice and will be called for questioning later, police officers said. All five suspects are residents of Dhayari and Warje-Malwadi areas in Pune and work in the informal sector, they noted.

A voice message has been circulated by Arju Bishnoi of the gang, in which he stated:

1. “Arju Bishnoi, Shubham Lonkar, and Hari Boxer are taking responsibility for the firing. We sent several messages to Rohit Shetty telling him not to interfere in our work; but since he did not understand, we carried out this act. If our warning is not heeded in the future, the firing will not be outside the house, but inside the bedroom.”

2. Arju also warned the entire film industry, saying that they should mend their ways in time; otherwise, their condition would be worse than that of Baba Siddique. Those who support our enemies will be wiped out. Baba Siddique was a leader of the Nationalist Congress Party and was murdered by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
