The Mumbai Police have made a significant breakthrough in the investigation regarding the recent attack on Bollywood star Tiger Shroff. Authorities have successfully apprehended three suspects in Kota, Rajasthan, and are currently in the process of transporting them to Mumbai to facilitate further questioning. While the primary perpetrators are in custody, police are now working tirelessly to uncover the mastermind or entity that orchestrated the shooting.
The suspects have been identified as 22-year-old Hrithik, 18-year-old Rehan, and a third individual who is a minor. Hrithik, the son of Ramu Mahto, is a native of Begusarai in Bihar and was reportedly working as a Rapido driver in Mumbai, residing near an Urdu school in Andheri West. The other two suspects, Rehan and the minor, are both residents of the Sonipat district in Haryana.
As the investigation deepens, police are looking into the specific motives behind the attack and the handlers involved in the operation. Officials have highlighted a worrying trend over the last few years where criminal elements are increasingly recruiting young, inexperienced individuals from ordinary backgrounds to execute high-profile attacks. These recruits are often kept in the dark regarding the public stature of their targets, a pattern that investigators have linked to other recent major cases, including the incidents involving Atiq-Ashraf and Baba Siddique.
