Tiger Shroff firing suspect left Bihar two years ago, worked as a cook, bike-taxi driver: Police

Bihar police identified one of the three suspects arrested for the recent shooting incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff as 22-year-old Hrithik Kumar, also known as Roshan. According to official reports, Kumar left his home in Begusarai, Bihar, two years ago to seek employment, subsequently working for a catering agency in Delhi, as a cook in Mumbai, and recently as an app-based bike-taxi driver. Police stated that Kumar was operating the vehicle during the attack in Mumbai’s Juhu area, which resulted in injuries to Shroff’s driver and a bystander, though the actor himself escaped relatively unharmed. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the assault, and authorities noted that the suspects were apprehended at a train station in Rajasthan shortly after the event. Family members, including Kumar’s mother, denied involvement in the crime, describing him as a fitness enthusiast who had recently traveled to Surat for wedding preparations, while neighbors in Mumbai characterized him as having a volatile temper.

Mumbai police arrested seven individuals on Tuesday and Wednesday in connection with the attempted assassination of Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, bringing the total number of detainees in the case to ten. The attacks occurred on October 18, when three gunmen fired five rounds at Shroff’s vehicle near Juhu. While Shroff escaped with minor injuries, his driver and a bystander were wounded. Investigators stated that Shroff was not the primary target of the assault, alleging that the assailants initially intended to harm actor Salman Khan but switched targets after encountering heavy security. The initial attack took place around 7 p.m. on Sunday, October 18, as Shroff’s BMW exited Pushpa Narsee Park in Juhu, located approximately 100 meters from the Juhu Police Station. Three men approached the vehicle, with two opening fire from the front and left side before fleeing on a motorcycle. One firearm jammed during the exchange. Shroff took control of the steering wheel and drove his injured driver, Firdous Ibrahim Baloch, to Santacruz Police Station before proceeding to Nanavati Hospital. Baloch, who has served as Shroff’s driver for 28 years, sustained a gunshot wound to his left wrist and a fractured right ring finger. A bystander, Umesh Chauhan, a part-time vlogger and detergent seller, was struck by a stray bullet and placed in intensive care. Shroff reported minor abrasions, though the First Information Report noted injuries to his chest and right hand. Police reconstructed the event using CCTV footage and call records, indicating that the three assailants surveilled the park grounds on October 11, a week prior to the shooting. On that occasion, Shroff did not attend his usual Sunday football session. On October 18, the trio monitored the gate for roughly two and a half hours until Shroff departed. The suspects were identified as Phool Singh, 18, and Rehan alias Sukka, 18, both from Sonipat in Haryana, and Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, 22, originally from Begusarai in Bihar but residing in Andheri West, Mumbai. They were intercepted on October 19 at Kota railway station in Rajasthan by a joint task force from Rajasthan Police and the Anti-Gangster Task Force. The suspects had boarded the Pune-Jaipur Superfast Express and were allegedly planning to flee to Nepal via Delhi. They were granted 48-hour transit remand to Mumbai Police and underwent medical examinations at MBS Hospital in Kota before being transported to Mumbai. Investigations revealed that the shooters had previously scouted residences of other A-list actors, including Salman Khan in Bandra West, Aamir Khan in Khar, and Ranbir Kapoor. Police stated that Khan’s home was heavily fortified with Y-plus security cover following a 2024 incident, making it inaccessible. The assailants deemed Shroff a softer target due to his lower security profile and regular presence at the public football ground. The weapon supply chain was dismantled through arrests made in Delhi and Haryana. On October 20, the Delhi Police Special Cell arrested Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, both from Sonipat, along with two women, Radha, 23, and Babita, 23, from Uttar Pradesh. Radha and Babita were apprehended at New Delhi Railway Station while returning from Mumbai. According to police, Kunal, who had recently been released on bail, was introduced to Anil Pandit, a US-based figure linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, by a friend from Harsana village. Communicating via an encrypted application, Kunal collected a pistol and 20 rounds of ammunition from Amritsar on Pandit’s orders. Kunal, who was in a relationship with Radha, persuaded her to transport the weapon to Mumbai, promising her 12,000 rupees. Radba enlisted her friend Babita, who was also promised compensation. On October 15, Kunal dropped the pair at New Delhi Railway Station, with the pistol concealed in Radha’s bag. He maintained contact with them during the journey, relaying instructions from Pandit. The women arrived in Mumbai on October 17, checked into a hotel in Dadar, and handed the bag to a minor boy around 11 a.m. The same day, the women departed for Delhi on the Dadar-Haridwar Express. Further arrests expanded the net on Wednesday. Mumbai Police detained three additional men from Sonipat: Sameer, Jatin, and Ankit. Jatin allegedly accompanied Kunal to Amritsar to retrieve the firearms and later traveled to Mumbai to arrange lodging and pay the shooters. Sameer was suspected of maintaining contact with Pandit, while Ankit assisted with local logistics. The three principal shooters had stayed in Mumbai for a month prior to the attack, spending approximately 200,000 rupees on lodgings in Dadar and the Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle used in the crime. The motorcycle was recovered near Andheri West railway station. Tracing its ownership history, police determined it was purchased by the suspects shortly before the festival of Pitru Paksha, with documentation transfer pending until after Navratri. Law enforcement agencies are scrutinizing financial transactions and digital communications to map the hierarchy of the conspiracy. A social media post and audio clip attributed to Pandit and Harman Sandhu claimed responsibility for the shooting, stating that Shroff ignored prior warnings and collaborated with Salman Khan. The post issued threats to other industry professionals associated with Khan. Police have not yet verified the authenticity of these digital artifacts. The three main accused were produced before a magistrate in Mumbai on Wednesday and remanded in police custody until October 31. Authorities emphasized that the motive remains under active inquiry, with specific focus on the role of external handlers and the broader Bishnoi network.

Phones off, then one call to a cab driver: How Tiger Shroff’s attackers were caught

Following an attack on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, police traced the suspects using a combination of CCTV footage and technical intelligence. The accused had turned off their phones to avoid detection, but one of them activated his phone to book a taxi from Borivali railway station. This allowed authorities to obtain the cab driver's contact information. The driver led police to the Surat bus stand, where the suspects were seen waiting before taking a train to Kota. With assistance from Kota police, the three were arrested on Monday morning. They were found hiding in a train compartment and were apprehended without incident. The suspects were planning to travel from Jaipur to Delhi and then to Nepal.

3 more held in Tiger Shroff shooting case, total arrests rise to 10 as police probe alleged Bishnoi gang links

Mumbai Police have increased the total number of arrests in the October 18 shooting incident involving actor Tiger Shroff to ten, including three new suspects from Haryana who allegedly provided logistical support and arranged weapons. Investigators state that the attack was allegedly orchestrated by Anil Pandit, a suspected operative of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, although Shroff was reportedly not the initial target. Police claim the shooters previously conducted surveillance at the residences of other high-profile actors, including Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, but selected Shroff due to his lower level of personal security. Three key accused individuals were transferred from Rajasthan to Mumbai and placed in police custody until October 31 to facilitate the recovery of weapons and collection of electronic evidence. The investigation highlights the involvement of a network spanning multiple states, with additional arrests made by Delhi Police regarding the supply chain of the firearms used in the attack.

How Tiger Shroff attack weapon was delivered: Pistol collected from Amritsar via ‘dead letter box’, two women took it to Mumbai

Actor Tiger Shroff was shot at in Mumbai on October 18 while returning home from a football ground in Juhu. Three bullets were fired at his vehicle from close range, injuring his driver and a nearby vlogger, though Shroff escaped unharmed. Three shooters fled but were later arrested in Kota, Rajasthan. Authorities have since arrested seven individuals connected to the incident, including three shooters and four others allegedly involved in transporting firearms and ammunition to Mumbai. According to police, the weapon used in the attack was retrieved from a 'dead letter box' in Amritsar, where weapons are pre-placed. Kunal, a recently released prisoner, reportedly collected the pistol and ammunition under the direction of Anil Pandit, who claims to be associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Kunal then enlisted Radha and Babita to assist in transporting the weapon to Mumbai. The attackers allegedly targeted Shroff as an 'easy second choice,' with Salman Khan being the original intended target.
