Senior Inspector Harishchandra Vhatkar of Amboli police station said, “The bullet is lodged in Shetty’s body.

According to investigating authorities, one of the bullets brushed against his chest whereas the other was lodged in his chest that was yet to be removed. Shetty underwent a surgery on Saturday and was recuperating at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital.
