Mumbai, March 9 One of the 12 accused arrested in the firing case at filmmaker Rohit Shetty's house on Monday sought temporary bail to attend his wedding in Agra, scheduled for March 11.
The accused, Ritik Yadav, requested interim relief after he was remanded to judicial custody by a judge of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court, Satyanarayan Navandar.
The plea, filed through advocate Dilip Shukla, stated that Yadav's wedding is scheduled on March 11 at his native place, Agra.
"The matter will be heard on Tuesday," Shukla said.
All 12 accused arrested in connection with the firing incident are currently in judicial custody. Yadav was among the seven accused, including shooter Deepak Sharma, arrested on February 14 from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
At least five rounds were fired at the first floor of Shetty's nine-storey building in Juhu on February 1. One bullet struck the glass of a gym inside the building.
Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Shubham Lonkar has claimed responsibility for the incident in a social media post. Besides this case, he is also wanted in the murder case of NCP leader Baba Siddique and the firing at the residence of Bollywood actor Salman Khan in Bandra.
Police had invoked the stringent MCOCA against the accused involved in firing at Shetty's house, with the preliminary investigation suggesting that they intended to create terror in the city.
