Tiger Shroff firing case: 11 accused re-arrested under MCOCA after court grants permission

In the wake of the incident involving Tiger Shroff, Mumbai Police have tasked the Anti-Terrorism Cells (ATCs) of every police station in the city to cross-check the Aadhaar card details of guests who have previously stayed at hotels and lodgings. Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Manoj Sharma labeled this action as a routine procedure.

The investigation into the Shroff firing case has revealed that the alleged shooter, Rehan Ansari, and Phool Singh, both checked into an Andheri hotel on October 14 using counterfeit Aadhaar cards with the names Ankit and Mandeep Man. They booked a room for Rs1,500 per day, but left the hotel on October 18 without notifying the staff.

The Crime Branch later recovered documents, the hotel's booking register, clothes, and a small bag allegedly left behind, and sealed the room. The probe has also revealed that two women, Radha Verma and Babita Rao, allegedly used false Aadhaar cards, fictitious names, and forged signatures to reserve hotel rooms. They entered Mumbai on October 15 and stayed at the Royal Rest House in Dadar East.

Police have seized the hotel register and CCTV footage, and are set to collect fingerprints from the women to verify the authenticity of the forged documents.
