Intelligence sources confirm that Lonkar, previously charged in the Siddique murder case, has been officially designated as a wanted fugitive in connection with the attempted assassination of renowned Bollywood director Rohit Shetty. Analysis indicates this escalation from murder to targeted assassination represents a significant development in organized crime patterns within the entertainment industry nexus. The explicit intent to kill, as established in both cases, suggests either coordinated criminal operations or a single perpetrator with specialized lethal capabilities. This dual-wanted status raises critical questions about potential syndicate involvement and security vulnerabilities in high-profile public figures' protection details. The pattern demonstrates calculated targeting rather than opportunistic violence, warranting immediate inter-agency coordination between law enforcement and intelligence services. Current assessment suggests this case may expose broader networks operating at the intersection of entertainment, finance, and organized crime, necessitating enhanced protective measures for industry figures while investigations proceed.
