  "account": "Tiger Shroff's assailants, Phool Singh and Rehan Rahisuddin, were members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, who allegedly teamed up with 22-year-old Hrithik Mahto for the Mumbai attack. Mahto, who had recently joined the gang a year prior, was riding the motorcycle used in the assault on the Bollywood star. Mahto, who had been living alone in a rented apartment in Andheri, was reportedly hired by the shooters after they arrived in the city. The police are investigating Mahto's background, including how long he had been working for the gang and whether he altered his appearance. Sources indicate that Mahto had long hair when he first arrived in Mumbai, but had it cut about ten days before the attack.",
