Mumbai: Two men who came on a bike fired three shots at Raju Shinde, a cable operator, at Film City in Mumbai.Shinde is also an office bearer of Shiv Sena's film wing, Chitrapat Sena.  He received two bullets injuries in his abdomen and one on the right hand, said additional commissioner of police Fateh Singh Patil.

The incident took place around 2 pm when  45 year old Shinde was outside his office in the film city and was shot from a close distance. He was first admitted to Life Line Hospital in Malad but later was shifted to Nanawati Hospital in Santacruz as he was critically injured.

The shooters fired three rounds, out of which two struck Shinde in the stomach and one struck him in the arm. Securitymen present on the site chased the shooters for some distance.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Police have cordoned off the whole area and are looking for the shooters who fired at Shinde. Bollywood Superstar Amitabh Bacchan also tweeted about the incident. Bachchan, who said the incident took place just 20 feet from where he was shooting, tweeted that a person was killed in the “gangwar shootout”.

“After the firing, the assailants were chased by another security guard and both attackers ran away leaving their motorcycle in the jungle of Arey,” he said.  “We have seized the motorcycle. We are finding out the details,” Patil added.

Earlier , Bachchan tweeted, “Okay! Shooting at Film City... and a gang war shootout 20 feet from where we are... 1 dead.. cops all over.”

Amitabh Bachchan, however, corrected himself in his second tweet and said that the person who was shot at was actually seriously injured but not dead.

It is not clear what the actor was filming when the incident took place. He has been working out at the gym for an untitled film but is yet to reveal the details about the project.
