In a dramatic twist to the shocking firing incident targeting actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai’s upscale Juhu area, Kota City Police have apprehended three suspects, including a juvenile.
The arrests were made while the trio was attempting to flee on a train, highlighting a swift inter-state operation.
The accused include a 22-year-old Rapido rider from Bihar, an 18-year-old from Haryana, and a minor from Haryana. Mumbai Police revealed the brazen attack occurred around 7 PM on Sunday as Shroff was leaving a football club.

Shinde assured the family of full government support, vowing strict action against those threatening public figures. Mumbai Crime Branch sources indicated the assailants meticulously planned the attack, conducting a recce of Shroff’s regular Sunday visits to the Juhu football ground.
Following the firing, the accused abandoned their motorcycle near Andheri West railway station before boarding a train, eventually crossing the Maharashtra border. The rapid arrests in Kota underscore the urgency and coordination of law enforcement. Meanwhile, security has been significantly beefed up outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, reflecting heightened concerns in Bollywood.
