DCP Raj Tilak Roushan: 20 Special Teams Formed, Three Suspects Arrested in Tiger Shroff Firing Case

Mumbai Police have arrested three suspects in connection with the firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car, following a coordinated operation involving multiple state police forces. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Raj Tilak Roushan said the accused were apprehended by Rajasthan Police in Kota while travelling on the Pune-Jaipur Express.

According to DCP Roushan, the firing took place at around 7 pm on Sunday, when three people arrived on a motorcycle and two of them allegedly opened fire at the actor’s car before fleeing.

Following the incident, the Mumbai Police Crime Branch formed around 20 special teams to investigate the case. Through field investigations, CCTV footage and technical analysis, investigators traced the motorcycle near Andheri West Railway Station and reconstructed the suspects’ movements.

Police found that the suspects had travelled towards northern Mumbai before heading to Surat. Further investigation revealed that they had boarded the Pune-Jaipur Express. Mumbai Police identified their train compartment and alerted Kota Police, who subsequently apprehended the three suspects.

The accused have since been taken into Mumbai Police custody, and arrangements are underway to bring them to Mumbai for further investigation. DCP Roushan acknowledged the assistance provided by Delhi Police, Gujarat Police and Rajasthan Police in the operation.

Initially, the police have invoked charges related to attempted murder and offences under the Arms Act. DCP Roushan added that further action would be taken as the investigation progresses and that more arrests could follow.

The investigation is ongoing, with police examining the possible involvement of additional individuals and the circumstances surrounding the attack.
