A hostage crisis unfolded in Mumbai this afternoon, with the suspect circulating a video message that he had some children in his captivity. In the video, the suspect identified himself as Rohit Arya and sought answers to what he claimed were “simple, moral, and ethical” demands. It’s not known yet what those demands were.
Believed to be mentally disturbed, he also threatened to set the studio on fire in case of the “slightest wrong move” by the other side.
The hostage situation lasted about three hours as cops forced their way inside the studio and arrested Arya. Seventeen children have been rescued, the police said.
Arya later died during an exchange of fire with the police after his arrest.
