Maharashtra minister Dada Bhuse on Friday (October 31, 2025) said he has sought a report regarding the work hostage-taker Rohit Arya had done with the education department.
Arya (50) was shot dead after he allegedly took 17 children and two adults hostage inside R.A. Studio in Powai on Thursday (October 30).
The children, boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 12, had been called to the studio for an audition for a web series that had been ongoing for six days. Police rescued the children after a three-hour hostage drama, but Arya was killed after sustaining a bullet injury during the operation.
