Mumbai's special MCOCA court has ordered the police to verify the age of Phool Singh Kumar, an accused in the Tiger Shroff firing case, to determine if he was under 18 years old when the incident allegedly occurred. Special Judge Satyanarayan Navandar allowed the request but refused to immediately transfer Kumar to a juvenile facility.
The investigating officer must complete the verification and report within 15 days. All accused in the case, including Kumar, were brought before the MCOCA court. Kumar's lawyer provided a birth certificate and identity card, claiming he was born on November 30, 2008, making him around 17 years and 10 months old at the time of the alleged shooting on October 18, 2026.
The court questioned why the age claim was not raised earlier and directed police to verify the documents before submitting the report to the court.
