Forensic experts and ballistic teams were reportedly brought in to collect evidence, and CCTV footage from the surrounding area is being reviewed to trace the movements of the suspects.
Officials said no injuries were reported in the incident, and there were no immediate signs of harm to residents. It was also not immediately clear whether Shetty was present inside the residence when the shots were fired.
“Someone fired at the building. Regional police and crime branch teams are investigating,” a senior police officer was quoted as saying, stressing that the investigation is in the initial stage and all possible leads are being examined.
So far, there has been no claim of responsibility for the shootings, and authorities have yet to determine a clear motive. Local residents said the sudden gunshots late at night startled many people nearby, raising concerns over security in high-profile areas. Police have assured to continue surveillance in the area as the investigation progresses.
