Tiger Shroff firing case: 4 more accused arrested in Delhi, Haryana

The Special Cell of Delhi Police has apprehended four additional individuals connected to the October 18 firing incident at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai, as reported by the Hindustan Times. Identified as Kunal, Sumit, Radha, and Babita, the accused were seized in Delhi and Haryana on Tuesday and subsequently turned over to Mumbai Police for further probing.

The shooting occurred around 7pm on Sunday in Mumbai's Juhu area, where Shroff was exiting a football club. Three assailants allegedly discharged their weapons at his vehicle. According to the report, Kunal is alleged to have procured a pistol and 20 rounds of ammunition from Amritsar on instructions from Anil Pandit, while Sumit aided him in this endeavor.

Radha and Babita are claimed to have journeyed to Mumbai with the weapon. The Mumbai Police's Crime Investigation Department (CID) formally arrested all four after securing court permission and granted them three days of transit remand for ongoing investigation. In a separate development, three suspects were apprehended in Kota, Rajasthan, on Monday while allegedly plotting an escape to Nepal.

The Mumbai Crime Branch has stated that Shroff was not the intended target of the shooting. Instead, the suspects had initially intended to target another prominent Bollywood actor but were unable to get close due to stringent security measures. Consequently, they reportedly shifted their focus to Shroff, presuming he would be a simpler target.

Authorities are still probing the motive behind the shooting and the alleged involvement of those implicated in the incident.
