In a statement, they said, “Ram Ram, Jai Bajrang Bali sabhi bhaiyon ko. Aaj Mumbai mein (Shetty Tower) film director Rohit Shetty ke ghar par jo firing hui hai, uski zimmedari Shubham Lonkar, Arju Bishnoi aur Hari Boxer Hasan Sambhu lete hain. Humne inhe kai baar message kiya tha ki hamare kaam mein dakhal na dein, lekin inhe baat samajh nahi aayi. Isliye yeh ek chhota sa trailer diya gaya hai. Agar aage bhi inhone hamari baat nahi samjhi, toh agla shot ghar ke bahar nahi, balki bedroom mein chalega. Yeh unke seene par aur aage poore Bollywood ke liye ek warning hai."(Translation: The firing that took place today at film director Rohit Shetty’s house in Mumbai (Shetty Tower) is being claimed by Shubham Lonkar, Arju Bishnoi and Hari Boxer Hasan Sambhu. We had warned him several times not to interfere in our work, but he did not understand. That is why this small trailer was given. If he still fails to understand our message, the next shot will not be fired outside the house, but inside the bedroom. This is a warning to him and, going forward, to the entire Bollywood)
Further investigation into the matter is underway. Meanwhile, Rohit is yet to release an official statement.
