Four people accused in the firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff have been formally arrested by the Mumbai Police after being apprehended by the Delhi Police Special Cell, New Delhi Range. The four accused, Kunal (21), Sumit (19), Radha (23) and Babita (23), were produced before a court under Section 35(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), according to the Delhi Police Special Cell.
Officials from the Maharashtra Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Mumbai, subsequently moved an application seeking permission for custodial interrogation and the formal arrest of the accused. The court allowed the application, following which the Mumbai Police formally arrested them. The Mumbai Police team then sought three days’ transit remand to take the accused to Mumbai. The arrests mark a significant development in the investigation into the firing incident involving Tiger Shroff’s car. Mumbai Police are probing the circumstances surrounding the attack, the motive behind it and the alleged links of those involved. The firing took place on a busy Sunday evening and was captured on video. Tiger Shroff, the son of veteran actor Jackie Shroff, escaped relatively unhurt, while his driver and a bystander sustained injuries. Police are continuing their investigation to establish the motive behind the attack and determine whether a wider conspiracy was involved.
The court granted the request, the Delhi Police Special Cell said. Mumbai Police said five to six rounds were fired at the actor’s car.
Investigators are also examining claims that the accused tracked the actor’s movements and gathered information about his security arrangements through Instagram posts and reels shared by his fans.
The accused may have initially planned to target another prominent Bollywood personality before allegedly shifting their focus to Tiger Shroff, according to preliminary information from the investigation.
