All those arrested, 10 so far, in connection with the Tiger Shroff firing case will be charged under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, or MCOCA, the police said.
According to sources, the police have begun gathering evidence and completing the necessary documentation to invoke MCOCA.
A motorcycle, allegedly used by the shooters, was found abandoned in Andheri. Anil Pandit, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the murder attempt. The three shooters had been arrested in Rajasthan’s Kota. They were attempting to escape to Nepal via Delhi. “After checking out areas frequented by this individual, the shooters realised that they would not be able to get to the person.
Because of heavy security, they improvised, as they couldn’t do so. Among the 10 arrested, there are also two women who allegedly supplied weapons to the accused who fired shots at the actor’s car.
The police have begun gathering evidence and completing the necessary documentation to invoke MCOCA, according to sources. Five to six rounds were fired at the car, according to the Mumbai Police. Police sources have told NDTV that the gang wanted to target another high-profile personality. This was when they shifted their target to Tiger Shroff after learning – through reels posted by his fans – that the actor did not have police protection,” the source said.
