Shetty, who was facing extortion threats from the Chhota Rajan gang, was shot dead by two alleged members of the gang on the hotel's first floor on May 4, 2001.
The hotelier had been provided police protection after he reported receiving extortion threats from the Chhota Rajan gang.
However, his security was withdrawn on his request, two months before the attack.
