Tiger Shroff Shooting: Two Suspects Arrested in Rajasthan's Kota

Two men have been arrested and a 17-year-old boy detained in Rajasthan’s Kota in connection with the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. Police apprehended the suspects at Kota railway station on Monday morning as they allegedly attempted to flee following the attack on Sunday evening.

The arrests were made during a joint operation involving Mumbai Police, Rajasthan Police, the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) and railway police. Kota Superintendent of Police Tejaswini Gautam confirmed the arrests and said the accused were being questioned as investigators worked to establish their alleged roles in the incident.

Tiger Shroff Shooting Case Accused Tracked to Kota

According to police inputs cited in media reports, the suspects allegedly abandoned their motorcycle near Andheri West railway station after the firing and boarded a train towards Borivali. Preliminary intelligence suggested that they subsequently travelled through Gujarat before reaching Rajasthan.

Mumbai Police reportedly formed 15 special teams to trace those involved. The suspects were eventually apprehended at Kota railway station while travelling on a train from Mumbai towards Delhi.

The identities of the accused have been reported inconsistently in initial accounts. Police sources cited in the reports identified the two arrested men as individuals from Haryana, while the detained juvenile is reportedly from Bihar. Investigators are continuing to question the suspects to determine their individual involvement.

The firing took place near Pushpa Park in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening, when Tiger Shroff was reportedly returning by car after playing football. The actor escaped unhurt. However, his driver, Firdos Ibrahim Baloch, and an autorickshaw driver sustained injuries, according to the report.

Juhu Police registered a case against three unidentified persons under charges that include attempted murder and criminal conspiracy, along with provisions of the Arms Act. Police have not publicly confirmed the identity of the person who fired the shots.

Possible Gang Connection Under Investigation

Investigators are examining a possible link between the shooting and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The gang has reportedly claimed responsibility through a social media post, which allegedly named Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu in connection with the attack. However, the claim has not been independently verified by police.

Police sources also reportedly said that the three suspects had received an advance payment of Rs 50,000 collectively to carry out the attack. Investigators are working to establish whether all three were directly involved in the firing and what roles they allegedly played.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has assured full support to the investigation and said strict action would be taken against those responsible. The investigation remains ongoing.
