Tiger Shroff’s attackers on 16-hour train to Mumbai, a day after escort team turned back

Three men were arrested on Sunday, October 18, for firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff with five rounds as he left Pushpa Narsee Park following his weekly football match. The assailants, Rehan Rahisuddin, Phool Singh, and Hrithik Mahto, hail from Rajasthan, Haryana, and Bihar respectively. Following a security concern, the Mumbai Police escort team returned to Kota on Monday, leaving the attackers with only a 16-hour train journey back to Mumbai.

The trio will be presented in a Mumbai court later on the same day. The journey commenced around 10 am today, with the police anticipating arrival at 2 am on Wednesday. The accused were initially granted transit remand by a local court in Kota for two days. Upon arrival in Mumbai, the three were apprehended in a general coach of the train at 9.45 am on Monday.

Police claim that one of the guns malfunctioned during the attack, and no weapons were recovered. It is alleged that the attackers were lured with Rs 37,000 and the promise of settling abroad. US-based gangster Anil Pandit has claimed responsibility through an audio clip, hinting at a connection to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang; however, police have yet to verify this link.
