New details have emerged in the alleged firing on the car of Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. Of the three suspects said to be involved, the faces of two have reportedly been captured in CCTV footage. Their identities and their role in the case have not yet been officially established.
The incident took place in the evening of Sunday, October 18, in the Juhu area of Mumbai, when Tiger Shroff's car was fired upon. Police have since intensified the investigation. Mumbai Police have put 15 special teams on the job of tracing the accused. The teams are going through CCTV footage from various locations and are also examining the routes the accused may have used to flee.
Police suspect the suspects abandoned their motorcycle outside Andheri railway station after the crime. CCTV footage from railway stations is also being examined to find out whether they escaped by train. Footage from roads and rail routes is also being scrutinised.
Investigators are also looking into whether the attackers had been keeping watch on Tiger's movements beforehand. Police suspect the attackers may have known that Tiger Shroff comes to play football in that area every Sunday. They are also checking whether the suspects surveyed the area around the park before his arrival.
According to a police officer, the possibility that the suspects followed Tiger or waited for him to arrive is also being investigated.
Meanwhile, a post from a social media account named Anil Pandit, claiming responsibility for the attack, has reportedly surfaced. An audio clip is also doing the rounds. It is said that in it a person describing himself as Lawrence Bishnoi's younger brother claims responsibility for the attack. The audio is claimed to contain threat-like remarks about Tiger Shroff and actor Salman Khan. According to the information available, the speaker says that he and Amran Sindhu took responsibility for what happened to Tiger.
However, the authenticity of the social media post and the audio clip, and their direct link to the attack, have not been officially confirmed. These claims cannot yet be treated as verified.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has reportedly spoken to the Mumbai Police Commissioner by phone and taken stock of the case. He is said to have directed that the investigation be completed quickly and that strict action be taken against the guilty.
