Tiger Shroff firing case: Custody of four accused extended till Oct 28; 11th accused remanded till Oct 31
Mumbai Crime Branch seeks to trace weapon supply, Signal communications and local support network; defence questions need for further custody
Mumbai prosecutors have extended police custody for four accused individuals in the shooting incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's vehicle. The custody extension, ordered by a court on October 26, 2026, will keep them detained until October 28, 2026. Additionally, the ninth and tenth accused were also remanded to police custody until the same date, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to 11.
The extended custody allows investigators to delve deeper into the alleged coordination through encrypted messaging app Signal, trace the origin of firearms and ammunition, and identify any local supporters who may have aided the accused. The defense lawyers argued that the police already had sufficient time to interrogate their clients and recover evidence, questioning the need for further detention.
