Tiger Shroff Firing Incident: In a major development in the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, Mumbai Police have clarified that there are no records of prior threat calls received by the actor regarding the incident.
The clarification comes after a post surfaced on social media in which an individual identifying himself as Anil Pandit, claiming to be from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, allegedly claimed that Shroff "was counselled, but did not understand us."
No Threat Calls On Record
Addressing reporters, DCP Rajtilak Roushan of Mumbai Police dismissed reports that the actor had received prior threat calls regarding the incident.
"We don’t have anything on record that Tiger Shroff has received prior threat calls about this incident. We have started an investigation, and in due course we will come to know about the larger conspiracy in this case. We are following the SOPs and earlier court orders related to such cases," said DCP Roushan.
No Minors Among Suspects
The DCP also cleared the air regarding those detained, confirming that all three accused are adults.
"We have three accused now; 2 are from Haryana, and 1 is from Bihar. No minor accused in this case," DCP Roushan added.
How The Firing Unfolded
According to law enforcement, the attack took place at approximately 7 PM when three men on a motorcycle opened fire at the actor's vehicle.
"Around 7 pm last evening, there was a firing on the car of a popular film actor. There were 3 people on a bike; two of them fired and then fled on the bike," said DCP Roushan.
Following the firing incident, around 20 special teams of the Crime Branch were formed.
"On the basis of field work and technical analysis, the bike was traced near Andheri West Railway Station. On the basis of CCTV footage and other technical analysis, we found out the path of the three. It was found that they had headed toward Northern Mumbai and left for Surat. We then found out that they had left on the Pune-Jaipur Express. We found out which compartment they were on and informed Kota Police. The Kota Police nabbed them, and then we took them into our custody. The procedure to bring them to Mumbai is underway. Delhi Police, Gujarat Police and Rajasthan Police have helped us in this matter," the DCP added.
Mumbai Police have initially registered charges of attempt to murder alongside sections under the Arms Act as the probe continues.
"Sections for attempt to murder and sections under the Arms Act have been invoked initially. As we get to know more, we will take further action, and more people will be arrested," confirmed DCP Roushan.
