Rohit Shetty clarifies use of police stickers on personal vehicles

Indian filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s team has issued a clarification regarding the alleged use of unauthorized police identification stickers on his personal vehicles.

According to Indian media reports, Shetty could potentially face legal action for placing police identification stickers on two vehicles.

A spokesperson for Rohit Shetty stated that these stickers were placed after a firing incident at the filmmaker’s residence in Mumbai on January 31, 2026.

In an official statement, the team explained that following the shooting incident, police heightened security measures and provided protection. During the initial phase, identification stickers were applied but have now been removed.

The spokesperson further added that Shetty remains under police security, with two personnel assigned for his protection. The team also expressed gratitude to the Mumbai Police for their support.

Earlier, media reports had claimed that unauthorized police stickers were placed on Shetty’s vehicles.

According to reports, an official from the Regional Transport Office stated that under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 (amended in 2019), private vehicles are not permitted to display police stickers, logos, or insignia.

During the firing incident, five shots were reportedly fired at Shetty’s residence in the Juhu area. Investigations by the Mumbai Crime Branch revealed that the vehicle used in the attack had been procured from Pune. Five suspects have been arrested and a case has been registered.
