Unidentified man fires a few shots at filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's office

Wednesday, June 14, 2006
In a scene straight out of bollywood, an unidentified man enters Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt?s office and fires two shots. However this is not a bollywood scene, but a real-life incident that took place at the producer-directors office at D.N.Nagar, Juhu. Fortunately, neither of the Bhatts was present at office at the time of firing. Also nobody was injured in the shootout.

Mahesh Bhatt - Supporter of various socio-political causes

Mahesh Bhatt immediately reached his office on hearing about the firing. The police are investigating the incident and are on a lookout for the unidentified man who fired the shots, with the help of a sketch that was made after office employees gave a description of the man. The police feel that perhaps the shots were fired to intimidate Bhatt as he has been known to support various socio-political causes. He had also recently petitioned the Supreme Court to allow the screening of the film Fanaa in Gujarat which was being opposed by various political parties.
