Mumbai, Oct 19: Three men suspected of opening fire at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai have been arrested at Kota railway station in Rajasthan, according to media reports. The arrests come a day after the firing incident in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening.
Tiger Shroff escaped without any serious injuries, while his driver and an auto-rickshaw driver were reportedly injured in the incident. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack and the motive behind it.
The three accused reportedly include a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old from Haryana, along with a 22-year-old bike-taxi rider based in Mumbai. They were traced using CCTV footage and arrested in a joint operation involving Rajasthan’s Anti-Gangster Task Force and Kota City Police while travelling by train.
The firing occurred around 7 pm on Sunday near Pushpa Narsee Park in Juhu, when three motorcycle-borne men allegedly targeted Shroff’s car as he was leaving the area. Police are also examining claims on social media purportedly linking the incident to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The authenticity of these claims has not yet been established.
The Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating the case, which was registered under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act. Further investigation is underway to establish the motive and the alleged roles of the accused.
