The investigation into the shocking attack on Tiger Shroff has taken a major turn with the arrest of three suspects. In a coordinated operation between Mumbai and Rajasthan Police, authorities apprehended the trio on Monday, October 19, 2026, at the Kota railway station. The suspects, identified as Ritik alias Roshan from Bihar, Rehan from Haryana, and Phool Singh, were intercepted while traveling on the Pune-Jaipur Express. After undergoing medical examinations at MBS Hospital in Kota, they were presented before a local judge and granted a 48-hour transit remand to bring them back to Mumbai for further interrogation.
The incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, October 18, 2026, around 7 PM in the upscale Juhu neighborhood. While the 36-year-old actor fortunately escaped the gunfire unharmed, he did sustain minor injuries from glass shards and gunpowder. The attack had more severe consequences for those around him; the actor’s driver, Firdous Ibrahim Baloch, sustained a bullet wound to his left hand, and an autorickshaw driver named Umesh Charan was also injured during the chaos. Deputy Commissioner of Police Raj Tilak Roushan has officially stated that the nature of the assault indicated a clear intent to kill.
Legal action is now in full swing, with the case registered under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, as well as the Arms Act. Preliminary findings have revealed that two of the detained suspects possess prior criminal records for theft and weapons-related charges. Police are currently exploring potential links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which allegedly claimed responsibility for the attack via social media. Amidst these developments, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has strongly condemned the violence, promising a thorough investigation, while Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde personally visited the actor to offer support. As the Mumbai Crime Branch continues its probe, security measures have been significantly ramped up for other high-profile Bollywood figures, including Salman Khan.
