Tiger Shroff Firing Case: Cops Make Fourth Arrest As Man Who Put Anil Pandit In Touch With Shooters Held In Haryana

In a fresh development in the case around firing at Tiger Shroff, the police have made another arrest. The cops have arrested a man named Sameer who allegedly facilitated contact between the three shooters and Anil Pandit, a US-based operative of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

According to a report by India Today, Sameer was arrested in Haryana's Sonipat, and the cops suspect that he was in contact with more people in Mumbai and further investigation is expected to proceed in that direction.

As per information, one of the three shooters, Rehan, was lured with a promise of settling abroad and Rs 35,000. Phool Singh, another shooter, was Rehan's associate and the duo had attempted to shoot a businessman in Amritsar.

The plan didn't succeed because the pistol failed to fire. Prior to the attack on Tiger Shroff, the duo had been living in Mumbai for around a month, where they got in touch with Hrithik.

Like Rehan, Hrithik was also lured with a promise of settling abroad and a good job. Hrithik was well aware of the streets in Mumbai.

All of them received money from Anil Pandit to spend on their leisure. They used a shop as a medium to order money and later withdraw it in cash. The trio used to communicate with Pandit using the Jaggi app, which does not require user identification.

All three were arrested on Monday morning from a train at Kota railway station in Rajasthan. They were planning to flee to Nepal. The Mumbai Police has formed 20 special Crime Branch teams to investigate the matter. DCP Roushan said that they have recovered a bike, a yellow-coloured Pulsar 220 used by the trio in the incident, near Andheri Railway Station.
