Police have arrested three people from Kota, Rajasthan in connection with the firing on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car. According to police, the accused have been identified as Rehan and Ritik Kumar from Bihar. Police have detained two more people in this case. One of them has been detained near the Maharashtra-Gujarat border.
According to police, all three accused had reached Kota by Pune-Jaipur Express. After that they were arrested from the railway colony of Kota. At present, police are interrogating them.But here a question is also raised on the security arrangements. After the firing, the attackers fled through a busy area of Mumbai.
Surprisingly, the attackers left their bike outside a police outpost and fled on foot.The incident happened on 18th October at around 7:00 pm in Juhu.Where did the attackers flee after the firing? Now understand this. In an Indian Express report, citing police, it has been said that after the firing, all three accused fled on a single motorcycle. They went from Juhu towards Andheri railway station. According to the report, there are many busy intersections on this route, where there is a lot of crowd. These include the intersection near Mithibai College, the junction of SV Road and the intersection near Andheri’s East-West flyover. In the evening, traffic police is also deployed in these areas.
Despite this, the accused did not get caught by anyone.They left the bike near a police beat chowki outside Andheri railway station. It is being said that after that they crossed the railway bridge and went from the western side of the station to the eastern side. In the initial investigation, police suspect that the accused booked a car from there and then moved ahead. However, this is yet to be confirmed.The bike left by the attackers was found at around 9:00 pm at night, i.e. about 2 hours after the firing.
Police have seized the bike and it has been kept at DN Nagar police station.Now the question arises, how is the police investigating? Police is now scanning the CCTV footage of Andheri East area. The purpose of the investigation is to find out which route the attackers took ahead, which car they used and whether anyone helped them escape. In this case, 15 teams have already been formed. The case is likely to be handed over to Mumbai Crime Branch.And in the firing, Tiger Shroff’s driver and another person standing near the car were shot. Both were treated. Tiger was not directly hit by the bullet, but his hands got burnt. It is being said that gun powder is the reason behind it.Is Lawrence Bishnoi gang’s hand behind this attack?
After the firing, a post surfaced on social media in which allegedly the responsibility for the attack was taken by Lawrence Bishnoi gang. However, police has not yet confirmed the involvement of the gang. If any connection of this gang comes to light, then this will be the fourth major attack related to it in Mumbai, in which the attackers fled from the spot after the incident.After the murder of Baba Siddique in October 2024, the main attacker also fled from the crowded Bandra East area. And it is claimed that he went to Lilavati Hospital to find out whether Baba Siddique had died or not. Seeing people crying there, he was convinced that Siddique had died. After that he reached Kurla railway station by auto rickshaw and fled from the city.
Similarly, in the cases of firing outside Salman Khan’s Bandra house and filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s house, the accused had also moved out of the spot and the state before arrest.At present, in the case of firing on Tiger Shroff’s car, police have arrested three people from Kota, Rajasthan and detained two others.
