An unidentified gunman entered the Juhu office of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and fired shots before leaving the premises on Wednesday afternoon.
According to reports, one unknown person, who walked inside the Vishesh Films office in suburban D N Nagar this afternoon, held a gun to Bhatt's accountant, Gilbert's, head, and asked for his boss.
When told that Mahesh Bhatt was not in the office, the gunman fired at the ground from his revolver and then walked out, where two of his accomplices had been waiting. Then he fled away on a black coloured Pulsar motorcycle with his friends.
Mumbai Police have cordoned of the entire area and begun investigations. A sketch is being prepared of the person on the basis of details provided by eyewitnesses. No casualty or injuries have been reported.
Reacting to the incident soon after the firing, Bhatt said that he did not suspect the involvement of the underworld in the shooting incident. Speaking to a TV news channel, Bhatt said that he was at his home preparing for a conference in Delhi when he learnt about the firing at his office.
"I don't see the involvement of the underworld in this. I have not received any threat from the underworld so far, although there were several persons who called up and abused me to vent their frustration in the past," he said.
However, Ravi Pujari, a noted underworld don has claimed responsibility for the incident. Ravi Pujari, while talking to a TV news channel over telephone, said that he had been planning this incident since a month as "he (Mahesh Bhatt) is close to Chhota Shakeel and Dawood".
