Seven More Arrests Take Tiger Shroff Shooting Case to 10

Seven more suspects have been arrested in the shooting case involving actor Tiger Shroff, bringing the reported total to 10, Mumbai Police said. The new arrests widen a case that began with gunfire at Shroff’s car in Juhu, Mumbai, on October 18. Police say the investigation is now tracing alleged links between the shooters and people who supplied weapons. ^15,16

Those 10 arrests include three men taken off a train in Kota, Rajasthan, after fleeing Mumbai, and four people arrested by Delhi Police’s Special Cell. Reports also describe two more arrests linked to weapons supply, though accounts differ on how the latest arrests fit into the total. The three men brought from Kota, Rehan, Ritik Kurmi and Phool Singh, were held in police custody until October 31. ^3,4,9

The October 31 deadline gives investigators time to search for the weapons, which police say they have yet to recover, and examine phones allegedly destroyed after the attack. Police told a court they are also investigating a wider plan and the alleged weapons supply network. The attackers reportedly fired at Shroff’s car as he left a football club. Shroff was unharmed, while his driver and a passer-by were injured. ^4,9,14

The alleged motive and who was responsible are still under investigation. Police told a court that Anil Pandit, described as a Lawrence Bishnoi gang associate, allegedly directed the attack. They said the shooters first planned to target Salman Khan before switching targets. A viral post claiming gang responsibility has not been verified. Shroff’s team has also warned that fake statements and AI-made videos falsely attributed to him are circulating. ^3,4,5
