Tiger Shroff Firing: Three Men Nabbed in Kota

Three people, including two men and a juvenile, have been apprehended in connection with the firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai. The suspects were traced to Kota in Rajasthan, where police teams took them into custody on Monday.

According to reports, the operation involved the Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force and Kota City Police, working with inputs from Mumbai Police. The suspects were intercepted while travelling by train.

Attack took place in Mumbai’s Juhu area

The firing took place on Sunday evening when Tiger Shroff was leaving after playing football in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Three men allegedly arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire at his car before fleeing the scene.

The actor escaped without any gunshot injuries, although he reportedly suffered gunpowder burns on his right hand. His driver and another person were injured in the incident and received medical attention.

Suspects allegedly fled by train

Following the shooting, the suspects allegedly abandoned the motorcycle used in the attack near Andheri railway station before fleeing Mumbai. Investigators tracked their movements using CCTV footage and other leads, eventually tracing them to Kota.

The arrests mark a significant development in the investigation, which was launched after the attack triggered heightened security concerns in Mumbai.

Police probe alleged gang link

A purported social media message and audio clip attributed to individuals claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang surfaced after the shooting. The claims reportedly suggested that the attack was connected to Tiger Shroff’s association with actor Salman Khan.

However, the alleged gang connection and the authenticity of the claims have not been independently established by police.

The investigation is continuing as authorities question the apprehended suspects to establish their alleged roles, the motive behind the firing and whether others were involved in planning the attack.
