Seven people have been arrested in connection with the firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai, as investigators probe an alleged weapons supply network. The latest arrests include two women suspected of transporting firearms to Mumbai.
The incident took place on October 18 in the Juhu area, where shots were fired at the actor’s car. Tiger Shroff escaped unharmed, while his driver and a bystander were reported injured.
Three Suspects Brought From Kota to Mumbai
Mumbai Police arrested three suspects at Rajasthan’s Kota railway station while they were allegedly attempting to flee. The accused were subsequently brought to Mumbai for further investigation.
Following their arrival, the suspects underwent medical examinations before being taken for questioning. They are being investigated for their alleged roles in the firing incident.
Two Women Among Four Additional Arrests
On October 20, the Delhi Police Special Cell arrested four additional suspects identified as Kunal, Sumit, Radha and Babita.
According to police, Kunal and Sumit were apprehended in Haryana’s Sonipat, while Radha and Babita were arrested at New Delhi Railway Station.
Investigators suspect that the two women transported a pistol and ammunition to Mumbai by train and handed them over to a minor allegedly connected to the operation. Police are examining the suspected weapons supply chain and the roles played by the accused.
Police Investigate Wider Network
The four additional accused were formally arrested by Mumbai Police after the necessary court permission was obtained. A court granted Mumbai Police three days of transit remand for further interrogation.
Investigators are also examining possible links to individuals allegedly associated with a wider criminal network.
Meanwhile, the three suspects brought from Kota are being questioned as the investigation continues.
Police have not publicly established every accused person’s role, and the investigation is ongoing. The alleged connection between the recovered weapon and the firing incident remains subject to confirmation by investigators.
